El Parc Científic de Barcelona (PCB). La recerca i la innovació entre la universitat i l'empresa

The Barcelona Science Park (Parc Cientific de Barcelona, hereinafter PCB) was created by the University of Barcelona with the support of the Fundacio Bosch i Gimpera and Caixa Catalunya. It concentrates leading public research groups, innovative companies, and powerful scientific and technological infrastructures in a single physical area. This area is to be enlarged this year, so as to further encourage interdisciplinary research and research excellence in biomedicine and biotechnology, not to mention in other fields such as the experimental, human and social sciences. New mechanisms are also to be established to ensure that the knowledge generated in the PCB filters down to society, by means, for example, of the creation of companies and the development of specific technologies that will contribute to improving quality of life
