The “Health City of the Community of Madrid” coming to life with UAM The “Health City of the Community of Madrid” coming to life with UAM ====================================================================== CIVIS Highlights 13 June 2025 The *Health City of the Community of Madrid,* with health care, teaching and research integrated in the same space will now be possible thanks to an agreement between the Regional Government of Madrid, the Madrid Health Service and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. All three institutions are to carry out actions of common interest in the health and teaching fields. ![](/storage/files/highlight-may-2025-2.jpg) ©UAM The agreement talks about the construction of an *"unique environment, guaranteeing the availability of the necessary spaces for the expansion of the facilities of the Hospital Universitario La Paz (HULP) and the construction of a new Faculty of Medicine, which will act as poles of attraction for research and talent to this new healthcare area”.* The expansion of the HULP facilities is set to improve and extend the health infrastructures, which will positively impact health care services and the well-being of the people of Madrid. > *The coincidence in time of the reforms currently being undertaken at the HULP, the Faculty of Medicine and the availability of the UAM plot, constitute a unique opportunity to develop a joint project for the construction in Madrid of an environment that integrates two institutions of reference in Spanish medicine such as the HULP and the UAM”,* specifies the document. The *Health City of the Community of Madrid* is expected to increase especially the research links between the two institutions, connecting them with the industry sector through the creation of joint teaching and research spaces. It will also serve as *“a lever for attracting students and health professionals to the UAM and the health system of the Community of Madrid”,* the document ads. **Find out more from the [original story, in Spanish](https://www.uam.es/uam/noticias/firma-convenio-ciudad-salud-2025).** ### Latest Highlights: [*700 books for the library of the Université Amadou-Mahtar M'Bow in Dakar, offered by ULB*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/700-books-for-the-library-of-the-universite-amadou-mahtar-m-bow-in-dakar-offered-by-ulb) [*Social Media reshapes news consumption in Eastern Europe, new study finds*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/social-media-reshapes-news-consumption-in-eastern-europe-new-study-finds) [*Wits scientists win prestigious international award for converting cashew waste into key vaccine ingredient*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/wits-scientists-win-prestigious-international-award-for-converting-cashew-waste-into-key-vaccine-ingredient) *[University of Tübingen, on its way to renew its status as one of Germany’s Universities of Excellence](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/university-tubingen-to-renew-status-germany-universities-of-excellence)* *[Can we dress well without harming the planet?
