The second BSC Severo Ochoa Retreat was held on January 23. Over 60 participants attended the meeting, whose aim was to highlight collaboration among the BSC’s different research groups. For this reason, most of sessions focused on the interdisciplinary collaboration happening within the BSC. Invited speaker Professor Mel Slater, an ICREA Research Professor at the University of Barcelona, ERC AdG, also gave a very thought provoking talk on virtual reality. Two international projects, in which BSC participates, were also presented, the Human Brain Project and the Pan-Cancer project.
