On June 12th, 2017, the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) was the location of the meeting to form the advisory council to support Barcelona’s candidature to be the headquarters of the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The meeting was presided over by the Healthcare Minister, Dolors Montserrat; the Mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau; and the Minister of Health, Antoni Comín.
The council comprises 80 figures with outstanding careers in various areas including healthcare, research, the media, and the pharmaceutical industry, as well as representatives from universities, international organisations, and patient associations, among others. All of them will act as “ambassadors” for Barcelona’s candidature.

My professional life has been dedicated to supporting researchers and their scientific research. After going through one of the first editions of the UPF Master's Degree in Scientific Communication, more than twenty years ago, I have devoted myself to precisely that: outreach and scientific communication, first in the IMIM and from 2007 at the PRBB.
