Today, the University of Barcelona signed a renewal of the agreement with the Portuguese institution Cooperative of Polytechnic Higher Education and the University (CESPU), within one of the internationalization projects of the HUBc, the campus of international excellence focused on health sciences led by the UB. The project will create a HUBc office in CESPUʼs headquarters, in Portugal, with the aim of carrying out common projects in teaching and research fields.

The agreement, signed by the rector of the UB, Dídac Ramírez, and the president of CESPU, António Almeida-Dias, will be developed thanks to the grant conferred on the HUBc within the programme Fortalecimiento 2011 (Strengthening 2011) promoted by the Ministry of Education. The event in which the agreement was signed took place at the Historic Building of the UB.
 
One of the activities included in the agreement is the organization of a conference in Penafiel, at the headquarters of the Institute for the Research and Higher Education of Health Sciences and Technologies (IINFACTS). The conference, coordinated by the professor from the Department of Pathology and Experimental Therapy Miquel Viñas, will aim at presenting the initiatives which both institutions want to develop together. One of the objectives of the agreement is to raise international funds in order to carry out and education project in Angola.
 
CESPU is a really experienced institution in health sciences higher education; therefore, the renewal of the agreement with the UB includes the HUBc project which wants to implement higher education in the Bellvitge Health Sciences campus. The agreements between UB and CESPU began when the rector Josep M. Bricall headed the University.
