Project Portugal 2020
The present proposal is based on two related activities: (i) consolidate and reinforce the infrastructure of the Clinical Academic Center-Braga (2CA-Braga), created by UMinho/HB, (ii) strengthen and increase the critical mass and number of players involved in clinical research, expanding the users base and their presence in the R&D community in the region. Clinical academic (medical) centers are –in industrialized societies– at the core of the health system, as they care for the most challenging patients and/or pathologies, train doctors and researchers into clinically-based scientific research, and, importantly, nurture clinical innovation promoting the discovery, development and validation of new treatments, solutions and products. In the USA alone, a 2008 study by the Association of American Medical Colleges evidenced that the combined economic impact of the nation’s clinical academic centers exceeded $500 billion, with these responsible for the creation of more than 3 million full

01.07.2019 .Summary
There is an impressive limitation to run clinical studies in Portugal, with consequences for academia, healthcare and companies. To overcome this, the Medical School of University of Minho, with Hospital of Braga, created the Clinical Academic Center-Braga. Building on this, we aim to significantly impact the transfer of knowledge from the bench of biomedical and technology laboratories, as well as from SMEs, to the clinics and to the market.
