SUMMARY
During 2014, the General Surgery Group has been credited as “Grup de Recerca Consolidat” by the Catalan Government, and has also been favorably evaluated in the external evaluation performed at VHIR. Two new competitive projects have started and 25 publications have been performed, 8 of them being ranked in quartile 1. Several agreements with other Universities, such as the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, have been achieved. Lastly, the group has collaborated in the “Master in Translational Biomedical Research – VHIR”, offering the students the possibility to develop an internship in collaboration with a leading company in the field of surgical closure technologies.
