Last October, we attended the 2nd Castilla y León Health Research and Innovation Hub, held at the Complejo Asistencial Universitario de León. This event, organized by the Instituto de Investigación Biosanitaria de León (IBioLEÓN) in collaboration with the Instituto de Ciencias de la Salud de Castilla y León and supported by the Consejería de Sanidad de la Junta de Castilla y León, brought together more than 200 healthcare professionals and representatives of the public and private healthcare sector.
NODDO was honored to actively participate in this key event for the advancement of innovation and health research in our region.
A day marked by collaboration and innovation
The event began with the presence of authorities such as the Managing Director of the Regional Health Management, Violeta Martínez Pindado, and the Managing Director of the Complejo Asistencial Universitario de León, Alfonso Rodríguez-Hevia, who highlighted the relevance of the Strategic Plan for Research and Innovation in Health 2023-2027 for Castilla y León. Throughout the day, strategic issues such as the catalytic role of IBioLEÓN were discussed, with presentations by Fernando Escalante Barrigón, scientific director of IBioLEÓN, and enriching dialogues with professionals such as Ana López González and José María Pelayo Terán.
The event also provided an opportunity to recognize excellence in research.
