Creation of the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology
Six of the top research centres in Catalonia come together to pursue a joint scientific endeavour by setting up The Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology
 
The centres involved are: the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG); the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ); the Catalan Institute for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2); the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO); the High Energy Physics Institute (IFAE); and the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona).

Two of them (ICN2 and IFAE) are located on the campus of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, a Barcelona Synchrotron Park strategic partner.
 
The Barcelona Institute is a scientific initiative that seeks to foster interdisciplinary research, to leverage its scientific impact, and to position itself among the leading European institutions. The Barcelona Institute emerges as one of the leading scientific institutes in Europe, ranking fourth in the number of ERC grants awarded per volume of researchers. The Barcelona Institute will promote joint research strategies, transfer of technology, and graduate programs.
 
In addition to Prof. Tarrach, chair of the Barcelona Institute who also chairs the European University Association (EUA), Profs. Joan Massagué (Sloan Kettering Institute), Ignacio Cirac (Max Planck Institute), Miquel Salmeron (UC Berkeley) and Sergi Verdú (Princeton University) also serve on the Board of Trustees.
