Madrid / 29.04.2020
Despite the restrictions imposed by covid-19, institutional and representative IOC activities continue to run at full speed.

In fact, an important collaboration agreement has just been signed between the IOC and the Torribera Mediterranean Center (TMC), an academic centre affiliated with the University of Barcelona and the Culinary Institute of America. The MOU is aimed at creating synergies in activities related to training, research and technical cooperation, as well as in activities implemented within bilateral and regional development projects. Under this agreement, the IOC has the opportunity to be part of the Business Leadership and Innovation Council of the TMC as an affiliated member organization. The University of Barcelona will guarantee the public recognition of this collaboration, which it will disseminate through its communication channels in accordance with the project mission.
