Montserrat Vendrell leaves PCB to join the new Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology as General Director

Montserrat Vendrell leaves the direction of the Barcelona Science Park (PCB) to head the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST), a new scientific institution result of the confluence of six Catalan research centres. The Chairman of the BIST is Dr. Rolf Tarrach, former dean of Physics and vice rector of the University of Barcelona (UB), and currently President of the European University Association (EUA). Dr. Vendrell will take up her new post mid-September. 

 

Vendrell, General Director at PCB since April 2014, managed that position together with being Director of Biocat —an organisation that promotes the biotech and biomedicine sectors in Catalonia based at PCB—, a post from which Vendrell has also resigned.

Vendrell´s resignation from PCB will be made official  by the Board of Trustees of the PCB Foundation, tomorrow, Tuesday, 21 of July. The rector of UB, Dídac Ramírez, has thanked Vendrell for her efforts and has wished her success in her new professional endeavor.
