It will tackle these problems with an innovatory approach through four spheres of action: research, ideas laboratory, training and advisory services. HRH Infanta Cristina, director of the Fundació la Caixa International Department, will be president of ISGlobal-Barcelona. Dr Pedro Alonso, current director of the Barcelona International Health Research Centre (CRESIB-Hospital Clínic de Barcelona- University of Barcelona), will be the director. As active participants, ISGlobal-Barcelona will have the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Nelson Mandela Children s Fund and the Inbursa Foundation (Mexico), as well as distinguished figures such as Javier Solana, former high representative for the common foreign and security policy of the European Union, and Graça Machel, winner of the Prince of Asturias Award for International Cooperation in 1998.
2 ISGlobal-Barcelona will have its headquarters at Palau Macaya, a symbol of Modernisme and cultural centre of Fundació la Caixa until CaixaForum Barcelona was created in Barcelona, 26 February The president of the Catalan Government, José Montilla; the secretary of state for cooperation, Soraya Rodríguez; the president of la Caixa and Fundació la Caixa, Isidre Fainé; the director of the Fundació la Caixa International Department, HRH Infanta Cristina; the director of the Barcelona International Health Research Centre (CRESIB- Hospital Clínic de Barcelona-University of Barcelona), Pedro Alonso; and the rector of the University of Barcelona, Dídac Ramírez have this morning presided the international launch of the Global Health Institute. The aim of the initiative is to improve global health through the generation and transfer of quality knowledge in the field, with special emphasis on the more disadvantaged populations. Also attending the event were the councillor for health, Marina Geli, the director general of Fundació la Caixa, Jaume Lanaspa, and Javier Solana, former high representative for the common foreign and security policy of the European Union. The Global Health Institute is the product of cooperation between public and private institutions, as can be seen from the composition of the Board, where administrations, foundations and civil society are represented: Fundació la Caixa, the Catalan Government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, the Hospital Clínic and the University of Barcelona. As active participants, ISGlobal-Barcelona will have the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Nelson Mandela Children s Fund and the Inbursa Foundation (Mexico), as well as distinguished figures such as Javier Solana, former high representative for the common foreign and security policy of the European Union, and Graça Machel, winner of the Prince of Asturias Award for International Cooperation in The Global Health Institute will turn the spotlight on the pathologies that have the greatest impact on the world and which, in this era of globalisation, affect both developing and industrialised countries. In 2000, the UN set among the Millennium Development Goals, including three directly related to global health: a reduction of infant mortality, improvements in
3 health and the struggle against HIV, malaria, tuberculosis and other diseases that hamper the development of the poorer countries. In harmony with those goals, the new Institute aims to become an international reference point in research into these diseases. It has been created for the purpose of improving the health of the more vulnerable populations in a global context and thus breaking the vicious circle of disease and poverty they are trapped in. ISGlobal-Barcelona: a response to the present challenges of world health The Global Health Institute will fight the forgotten diseases, in other words the ones that particularly affect the poorer countries and which, owing to the impact of globalisation and migratory flows, eventually affect the whole world. The new centre will tackle these problems with an innovatory approach through four spheres of action: research, ideas laboratory, training and advisory services. The research will be done on a network with other international reference centres. It will focus on biomedicine with the aim of studying the major challenges of global health, especially the ones related to poverty and underdevelopment, and providing solutions. That task will be carried out from the Barcelona International Health Research Centre (CRESIB), promoted by the Catalan Government, the Hospital Clínic and the University of Barcelona. Another of the goals of ISGlobal-Barcelona will be to set up an ideas laboratory. This will provide rigorous independent analysis and prediction from the generation, assessment and dissemination of ideas, the kind that will contribute to the debate in the field of global health and provide important information for political, technical and managerial staff in both developed and developing countries. Promoting and spreading knowledge in the country and abroad is the third great priority of the new centre. That means leading and coordinating training in global health, with the University of Barcelona as a framework, and in association with other academic and scientific centres in Spain, Europe and the rest of the world. The training will be designed for researchers and professionals around the world interested in the field of health, but especially those from the most disadvantaged countries. The emphasis will be on promoting knowledge transfer and creating opportunities in the local sphere. The project also includes the development of activities in the advisory services field, a key element in the process of strengthening and consolidating the centre. It will be supplying innovatory interdisciplinary advisory services for
4 all those working in the field of global health and promoting suitable policies and practices to achieve the necessary improvements. Palau Macaya, a jewel of Modernisme, headquarters of ISGlobal- Barcelona The Global Health Institute will have its official headquarters at Palau Macaya, a jewel of Modernisme, built in 1898 by the Catalan architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch on a commission from the industrialist Romà Macaya Gibert. Located in Passeig de Sant Joan, Casa Macaya has been closely linked with la Caixa since A Modernista symbol of the city of Barcelona, Palau Macaya was the cultural headquarters of Fundació la Caixa until CaixaForum Barcelona was created in The creation of ISGlobal-Barcelona also strengthens la Caixa s commitment to research. Since 1995, with the Catalan Government Department of Health, Fundació la Caixa has been supporting IrsiCaixa, a reference laboratory in research into AIDS worldwide. Moreover, Fundació la Caixa works with other reference institutions in the field of research: the National Cardiovascular Research Centre (CNIC), directed by Dr Valentí Fuster; the Institute of Oncology at the Hospital Vall d Hebron in Barcelona, focusing on the struggle against cancer; and the Wider-Barcelona Centre, engaged in endoscopic research and surgery. Recently la Caixa Social and Cultural Outreach Projects has fostered the creation of RecerCaixa, a joint programme for the promotion of research in Catalan public universities. Along the same lines, la Caixa Social and Cultural Outreach Projects awards 40 biomedical research grants every year at the four leading centres in the field in Spain (Genomic Regulation Centre, Biomedical Research Institute, National Biomedicine Centre and National Oncological Research Centre).
