This milestone affirms LifeWatch ERIC’s role in advancing research, technological development, and innovative projects that benefit both the scientific community and society at large. The inclusion remains valid for four years: a distinction that validates past achievements and inspires us to deepen our contributions to the European scientific and innovation landscape. This recognition opens doors to new funding opportunities, allowing participation in calls for competitive grants aimed exclusively at agents of the Andalusian Knowledge System. | | | | News from the World of Research
