Susana Aceituno Castellón de la Plana, Castellón, Spain (1982) Associate Director at Outcomes'10, a scientific consultancy specializing in Health Economics and Outcomes Research Degree in Biology. Master’s Degree in Development and Monitoring of Clinical Trials. Master's Degree in Health Economicsand Pharmacoeconomics.

She participates in the design and development of research projects in collaboration with the Pharmaceutical and Health Technology Industry, Scientific Societies, and/or Patient Advocacy Groups.

The projects focus on exploring the patient-reported outcomes, such as quality of life or preferences, and on evaluating the efficiency of new medicines and health technologies, estimating their potential costs and benefits through simulation models.

These projects make it possible to improve the treatment of a pathology, incorporating the patient's perspective and needs, or to facilitate optimal access to new healthcare technology for all patients who need it.

Inma Solís Castellón de la Plana, Castellón, Spain (1982) She stands out for her intensive knowledge of water microbiology and her extensive experience in research projects with applications of very diverse microbiological determination techniques Senior in Biological Sciences from the University of Valencia, highlights her work as Head of Microbiology in a large ISO 17025 national environmental analysis laboratory, over the past 25 years.

She is a member of the Spanish Society of Microbiology (SEM), scientific society belonging to the National Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), founded in 1946, forming part of the governing body. She actively works in three Specialist Groups of this Society: Water Microbiology, Food Microbiology and Method Standardization.

She´s a member of ENAC's technical advisory committee (National Accreditation Entity in Spain) and AEAS (Spanish Association of Water Supplies and Sanitation).

Gladys Mínguez Jérica, Castellón, España (1974) Her research focuses on the synthesis of high purity nanoparticles and new nanomaterials with pulsed lasers PhD in Optics from the University of Valencia and Associate Professor at the University at the Jaume I University of Castellón, where she is also secretary of the Physics Department. She specialized in Ultrafast Optics and Photonics at Purdue University (United States), the FernUnivesitat in Hagen (Germany) and the Institute of Applied Optics (Poland).

She co-directs the Optics Research Group of the Universitat Jaume I where she investigates the synthesis of nanoparticles with lasers, for the development of advanced nanomaterials with bactericidal properties, manufacture of optical biosensors and solar nanofluids.

She has participated in the development of a fluorescent sensor that allows the detection of glucose at levels as low as those present in a tear, and is also the co-author of two patents. In 2020, she was selected by ACS Omega magazine as a benchmark in the leadership of women scientists.

Amelia Simó Vila-real, Castellón, España, (1967) From a very early stage, she combined her research career in the field of statistical models and methods for spatial data with positions of responsibility in university management She obtained an undergraduate degree and a doctorate in Mathematics from the University of Valencia. In 1991, the year the Universitat Jaume I was founded, she joined the Department of Mathematics at this university just after graduating. She is currently Full Professor of Statistics and Operational Research in that same department.

Since 2018 she has been the director of the UJI's School of Technology and Experimental Sciences, the centre where all the degree courses in the fields of science, engineering and architecture are taught. Previously, she had been the vicedirector of the Bachelor's Degree in Computational Mathematics, which she contributed to implement as an official course at the University.

Coordinator of the Research Group "2D and 3D Shape Analysis, Statistical Learning in Artificial Intelligence and Stereology", her research has focused on the analysis of spatial data: digital images, 3D body scans, map locations, etc. She has collaborated with researchers from different research fields, combining her theoretical research in the development and study of new models and methods in spatial statistics, with direct applications to the mentioned fields.
