This week, a delegation from the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities visited EMBL headquarters in Heidelberg to strengthen ties and discuss future cooperation between Spain and EMBL. Hosted by Director General Edith Heard and the Head of International Relations Plamena Markova, State Secretary Cigudosa visited EMBL Heidelberg on 9 September 2024, accompanied by Eva Ortega, Spain\u2019s Secretary General for Research and Ignacio Baanante, the Spanish Council Delegate at EMBL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discussions revolved around the collaborations established during the current programme, and the extensive network of collaborative ties that EMBL has cemented with prestigious Spanish research-performing organisations, which can be further amplified in areas of mutual interest such as AI technologies applied to advanced basic research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Spain is going to strengthen its leadership in EMBL, as it will enhance Spanish participation in this international organisation, particularly in the site of this laboratory in our country,\u201d said Juan Cruz Cigudosa, Spanish Secretary of State for Science, Innovation, and Universities  at the Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit comes on the heels of EMBL completing the sampling phase of its unique Traversing European Coastlines (TREC) expedition that studied 120 land-sea transects in over 20 European countries. TREC had an extensive presence across the Iberian peninsula,  with a total of six stops in Spain, including two superstops in Bilbao and Barcelona, where EMBL, its partners, and local hosts capitalised on the occasion to engage with Spanish political stakeholders<\/a> and the scientific community. In particular, the month-long TREC expedition stop in Bilbao was a key event, which took place under the auspices of the Spanish EU presidency to the EU Council. The TREC  fieldwork will result in discoveries that cross scientific disciplines and many potential spill-over collaborations with Spanish institutes in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a pleasure to see the EMBL facilities in Heidelberg first-hand, and to be able to see the scientific excellence that is carried out in this Laboratory, thanks to its Director General Edith Heard, her team, and the entire Spanish scientific diaspora who accompanied us on the visit,\u201d said Ortega, Spanish Secretary General for Research at the Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, the discussion also focused on the impressive performance of EMBL\u2019s site in Spain. Founded in 2017, EMBL Barcelona<\/a> may be EMBL\u2019s newest site, but in just a few years it became a recognised hub of  excellence in the field of tissue biology and disease modelling. Its world-class technology and experts, coupled with a demonstrated role as nexus to other scientific disciplines, is helping take European research to the upper level \u2013 adding significantly to the scientific landscape in Spain and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEMBL Barcelona has evolved into a vibrant place of scientific excellence, integrating into Spain\u2019s rich research ecosystem. One of the things that excites me most is how we are building bridges across disciplines and institutions, both within Spain and internationally,\u201d said James Sharpe, Head of EMBL Barcelona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the guests toured Alba Diz-Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s lab, which explores how mechanical properties affect the way immune cells or other cells move and got acquainted with the scientific work of Spanish Group Leaders at EMBL-EBI in Hinxton, EMBL Barcelona, and EMBL Grenoble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince my arrival in 2016, I have been able to tap into EMBL\u2019s tools and range of experts to advance my own research,\u201d Diz-Mu\u00f1oz, Group Leader at EMBL Heidelberg, said. \u201cSo, it was good to be able to show the work I\u2019ve been doing and how, even outside of Spain and the Barcelona site, EMBL makes a difference to what Spanish scientists can achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spanish delegation also informally met with the wider Spanish community currently at EMBL Heidelberg. Both the State Secretary and Secretary General engaged extensively with a group of EMBL staff about their careers, fields of study, and why EMBL was their choice of institution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit  included a tour of the EMBL Imaging Centre, with its cutting-edge instrumentation and microscopy technologies, and the World of Molecular Biology <\/em>\u2013 EMBL\u2019s interactive exhibition co-located there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe event marked not only the recognition of EMBL\u2019s fruitful collaboration with Spain, but also the beginning of many new significant steps to push the boundaries of science and progress,\u201d said Edith Heard, Director General of EMBL. <\/strong>\u201cThe talks about the future and EMBL\u2019s strategic forward look have indeed been instrumental in underlining new areas of cooperation and alignment with Spain\u2019s research priorities. To this end, the Ministry\u2019s support for the site in Barcelona as well as the research conducted there has been critical. EMBL is grateful and ready to further strengthen its collaborative ties in Spain.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
