Communication Technician

The VHIR Communication Unit forms part of the Communication, Corporate Strategy and Citizen Assistance Department of the Vall d’Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus and its main objective is to raise awareness of the research carried out at Vall d'Hebron, in all its areas and all its forms. On the one hand, it explains to society, through its web page, social media and the media in general, the main scientific advances of its researchers, and the institution's milestones. It does so through press releases and conferences, interviews, videos and communication campaigns, as well as written and audiovisual informative material. Also, it organises institutional events, scientific seminars, workshops and the annual conference, but it also carries out divulgation actions in order to bring what the researchers do at the VHIR closer to society. It does so by participating in fairs and organising open door events and other activities to allow society to get to know us and raise awareness, especially among the young.
