Excellent working conditions for animal surgery and research. It was here that linphatic vases were seeing for the first time radiographically (in the world) and an experimental cardiac transplantation took place. Now, hepatic transplants in pigs are common. Also, work on biomaterials. The service is available for external use (full service). Animals: (little) mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, goat, sheep, pigs (all with or withot genetic manipulation). Equipment: surgery block (two rooms); ventilators, microscope, ecodopppler, X rays.

REDE is a multidisciplinary research group —gathering researchers from the fields of economics, business and management engineering— at the University of Vigo. Our main lines of research lie in the field of innovation and operational excellence, on the one hand, and in energy and the environment, on the other. The European Commission and the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation have funded this research systematically through competitive calls, and thus the output of our effort has led to numerous articles in some of the leading economics and strategy journals.

The University of Vigo is a new and dynamic institution that offers a wide range of training in the three specialized and innovative campuses that make it up (Vigo, Ourense and Pontevedra). We offer 125 degrees and official master's degrees, 36 doctoral programs, joint programming degrees and double degrees with foreign universities. We also offer hundreds of programs, events, workshops and language courses and, of course, our program for adults. The University of Vigo has been built on deep positive values, based on transparency and good management, integration, equality, diversity and respect for the environment. We are committed to specialization and quality research and, as an institution committed to the social and economic environment, the transfer of knowledge to society is central for us, so we strive for research to continually revert to social development.

Bioga and the Galician Innovation Agency (GAIN) are organizing the Bioalmorzo "Acceleration Programs for Entrepreneurs, Researchers and Companies" in collaboration with EIT Health on January 25th at the CiQUS Assembly Hall (Santiago de Compostela). The working day will start at 11.00 h. For this we will have the participation of:Irene Sánchez, Business Creation Manager EIT Health Spain Javier Vega, Business Creation Project Coordinator EIT Health Spain EIT Health is a European network of innovation in health. They offer solutions to enable European citizens to live longer and healthier lives by promoting innovation. They connect the right people and the right subjects across European borders, so that innovation can happen at the intersection of research, education and business, for the benefit of citizens.The event will consist of an informative day on the acceleration calls of EIT Health aimed at entrepreneurs, start-ups and SMEs in the health sector, which will open soon.EIT Health' activities are aimed at promoting innovation in health care through the creation of promising companies, the development of talent and the support of innovative ideas. The three main areas are: Accelerator for business development, Campus for education and Innovation projects to support new ideas. Taken together, the three EIT Health programs provide a wide range of activities that support innovation from idea to marketing, which ultimately makes these innovations available to European citizens.The program is as follows:11.00-11.15h: WelcomeBiogaGAIN11.15-11.30h: TraffikGene Project (ERC Proof of Concept)Javier Montenegro: Principal researcher at CiQUS11.30-12.30: Acceleration programs for entrepreneurs, researchers and companiesJavier Vega: Business Creation Project Coordinator EIT Health SpainIrene Sánchez: Business Creation Manager EIT Health Spain12.30-13.00h: Debate13.00h: Networking and coffe-break For more information, you can check the EIT Health website.Attendance is free.Those who wish to attend can register at the following email address: julio@bioga.org before January 23.See all information at www.bioga.org

Mission: The Clinic Academic Center – Braga, Association (2CA-BRAGA), is a non-profit partnership, between the University of Minho (UM), through the School of Medicine (EM) and the Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS), the José de Mello Saúde Group, represented by Hospitals of Braga and CUF-Porto, and Eurotrials – Scientific Consultants. The 2CA-BRAGA is in a unique and privileged position to ally research with clinical aspects, maximizing the development of innovative biomaterials, diagnostic strategies, regenerative approaches and therapeutic products. With basis on this health ecosystem infrastructure the 2CA-BRAGA, thus, seeks to strengthen University of Minho’s position as a leader in bioscience innovation and translational research, promoting in unison with the Hospital de Braga the maintenance of health during the lifespan and, most importantly, contributing to add quality to life through innovative breakthroughs.Vision: The 2CA-BRAGA vision is to create a paradigm shift for healthcare: a larger number of subjects can be appropriately monitored and healthcare providers can proactively engage their population into an adjustable healthcare mode. Strengthening this vision, the 2CA-BRAGA seeks to ensure that medical research breakthroughs lead to direct clinical benefits for patients. For this, the 2CA-BRAGA will promote projects in clinical, translational research and clinical trials, will host activities of scientific character in the area of health sciences and provide services for the clinical and scientific community. Feeding back into its supporting communities the 2CA-BRAGA will actively engage in a culture of dissemination of the generated knowledge among the scientific community, health professionals and the general public.

In the top-class facilities of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto, in the Norte region of Portugal, 14 PhD courses and 15 master programmes are run for 3000 students.
