Dr. Elías Campo receives the 2013 Catalan National Research Award
The Government of Catalonia and the Fundació Catalana per a la Recerca i la Innovació recognize through the 2013 National Research Awards the excellence in research activity of scientists. The awards want to encourage the social recognition of science and, particularly, to spread among the Catalan society the work of its researchers. These awards are the highest honour in research in Catalonia. The President of the Catalan Government, Artur Mas, underlined last night during the ceremony that "the path achieved in research, science and technology transfer" will allow the country, over the next ten years, "to talk face to face with the leading countries of the world". This year's winners were: Elías Campo, National Research Award; Isabelle Anguelovski, National Research Award to Young Talent; KIC InnoEnergy Iberia, National Award in Public- Private Partnership in Research and Innovation; José Carreras Foundation, National Award for scientific Sponsorship; and, Ara newspaper, National Award for Science Communication.
