The Fundació Clínic offers a range of scientific and research support services, which it either manages directly or through associated entities.

 

The Hospital Clínic’s long research tradition positions it as one of the leading institutions in its field both nationally and internationally.

A significant proportion of the Hospital’s research activity is performed through the Institut d’Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS).

Research project management and administration is carried out by the Fundació Clínic per a la Recerca Biomèdica.

 

 

The Clinic Foundation has included the protection of the results of biomedical research in its strategic goals, and carrying out a program to promote technology transfer to society, because of the advantages that it represents for the research groups as well as for society.

 

The Hospital provides under- and post-graduate teaching, which includes training for resident doctors and continuing professional development for Hospital staff.

 

Its staff also provide external training through Aula Clinic.

The Fundació Clínic is renowned for excellence in the field of international health and is a leading point of reference both nationally and internationally. Its work in this field is based on a model that integrates a powerful research unit with world-class health care and academic institutions such as the Hospital Clínic and Universitat de Barcelona.

 

The Fundació Clínic develops co-operation projects in low-income countries through entities such as the Centro de Investigación en Salud Internacional de Manhiza (CISM) in Mozambique (CISM) or the Maternity Ward of the Hospital Español de Tetuán (Morocco).

 

These two pioneering centres in the international health research field receive funding from numerous sources, among them the Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional (AECI) reporting to the Spanish Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Fundación BBVA, the Fundación La Caixa and the Generalitat de Catalunya.
