Exsabbatical opinions

I spent 7 months as a sabbatical in CREAL, now ISGlobal Campus Mar, between September 2013 and March 2014. ISGlobal has outstanding researchers in different fields as epidemiology, environmental research, respiratory disorders, child health and oncology. Moreover, one can find a friendly environment that helps in the interaction among researchers, statisticians and other coworkers. It was a very nice experience to work in ISGlobal/PRBB and to live in Barcelona during these months. ISGlobal Campus Mar has also cooperation with other research centers worldwide and one can interact with researchers from many different places around the world. For researchers that have this opportunity, I would recommend a stay in ISGlobal.

CREAL, now ISGlobal Campus Mar, is a fascinating institute for post-doctoral research and scientific collaborations in the topic of Environmental Epidemiology. The staff, with its expertise and experience, has the ability to understand in depth the scientific pursuits and to provide collaborations of really high quality. Finally the place with its pure Mediterranean style offers a unique working environment.

CREAL, now ISGlobal Campus Mar, is an absolutely unique place! Everything about it -the people, the atmosphere, the setting, etc.-, make it a most desirable place to work. Collaborating with brilliant, enthusiastic, open-minded, cooperative folks, while overlooking the Mediterranean, in the sun… what more can you ask for? I adored every minute of my 5 years there, and am lucky to still have on-going collaborations there – I will make sure these never stop.

I am very happy to have spent some months at CREAL -now ISGlobal Campus Mar- and to have developed collaborations. Thank you very much for your welcome.
