Teaching Unit

The Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR), in its education and training area, aims to promote and develop academic activity in the area of translational and clinical research, promoting the creation of new teaching initiatives and contributing to channelling the training opportunities that arise from the scientific community at VHIR, with the aim of transferring the knowledge deriving from our research to society through the training of research personnel of excellence.

The Teaching Unit also coordinates student training placements at the VHIR through collaboration agreements with universities or other educational centres, so that students who wish to do so may carry out a placement at the VHIR laboratories and thus complete their training, acquire practical experience and prepare for their entry into the employment world at one of the biggest biosanitary research centres in Catalonia.
