The Cub Premium is interested in biomedical research
This spring is full of proposals from the "ARA unconditional club"
They have not toured the entire Barcelona Biomedical Research Park – it occupies a space equivalent to a city block in the Eixample! – but only a small part. But the members of the ARA Premium Club have gotten a good idea of the intense activity carried out in this prestigious research center specialized in medicine and biomedicine located in Barceloneta, very close to the sea.
Once inside the building, they did not need to open any doors: there are no controls. Reimund Fickert, director of communication and institutional relations of the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park, explained to them in a meeting room and while walking the origin of the Park, which was built on land where the Barceloneta football club's field used to be. "The Park was born with the impetus of the Barcelona Olympic Games, and even though many did not believe in it. David Andreu and Andreu Mas-Colell especially pushed the project, arguing that research always yields benefits... in the long term".
Currently, 1,700 people work at the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park. This very important research center has a very close link with the Hospital del Mar, which is just a stone's throw away. "The Park invoices around 120 million euros each year, but it has been 20 years without profit!", explained Reimund Fickert.
"This spring is full of activities from the ARA Premium Club. We are doing some that we have done before and were successful, thinking of the new club members, such as bird watching in the Empordà marshes on May 16, or a boat trip around Cape Creus on June 7, but most of them are new," specifies Daniel Romaní, coordinator of the ARA Premium Club.
Last week, some members of the Prèmium Club enjoyed a visit to the Maritime Museum of Barcelona, undoubtedly one of the most important in the world regarding maritime heritage, and a beautiful electric bicycle route (32 kilometers along the Ter river beaches), thanks to the collaboration ofEbici.cat.
