Scientific project
The institutions promoting the Mercat del Peix –UPF, BIST and CSIC – have joined forces to promote multidisciplinary research and innovation, reinforcing the Ciutadella del Coneixement initiative. In the three buildings dedicated to precision medicine, biodiversity and societal wellbeing, they seek to address the important and urgent goals facing society and the planet, such as population aging, high-impact diseases, climate emergency, the degradation of environmental resources, the loss of biodiversity, and the increase in social inequalities.
With a planned investment of almost €148 millions, this new knowledge hub will host 1,400 researchers and will be operational in 2028.
