Good quality Higher Ed & Research facilities

12 Universities 30 advanced research centres 13 science parks:

3 biomedical, 3 agro-food Synchrotron Light Source

This new laboratory will be operative at the end of 2008, with 125 people providing services to more than 150 research groups and to nearly 750 researchers. It will be of use to the scientific community of southern Europe

Supercomputer Center (Mare Nostrum) Fourth supercomputer of the

world. It started its activity at the beginning of this year (2005)
