New horizons as personalised medicine or precision medicine are in the top of the European Health Agendas, and the Spanish region of Extremadura want to become a referent.
“Research in Extremadura” programme aims to make known some of the existing research lines in the region promoting connection with related researchers and research institutions.
This programme also intends to be a gateway to young researchers to feel Extremadura as a place to carry out their professional development, boosting the regional growth.
«Research in Extremadura» programme is an activity financed by the «Oficina para la Innovación» project from the General Secretariat of Science, Technology, Innovation & University of the Extremadura Regional Government and the European Regional Development Fund «Una Forma de Hacer Europa» by 80%, and managed by FUNDECYT-Parque Científico y Tecnológico de Extremadura.
