Ph.D. Marta Otero Viñas, TR2Lab group leader, gave the opening talk of the V Update Meeting of the Societat Catalana de Geriatria i Gerontologia (SCGiG) in Vic, March 5th.

The opening talk of this annual update meeting in geriatrics was focused on learning from knowledge of professionals of other disciplines.

The title of the opening conference gave by Ph.D. Marta Otero was “The challenge of doing research in a regional area (and not die trying): from theory to practice”. Original title: “El repte de fer recerca a casa nostra (i no morir en l’intent): de la teoria a la pràctica”. In her talk she gave some advice about how to start and develop research in a regional asistential hospital (not intensive in clinical research) from her experience of building a research group in a non-intensive-research university.
