Beatriz Morales-Nin
Madrid, Spain (1951)
PhD in Biology, expert in fish and sustainability. Her career can be summarized in three words: curiosity, tenacity and courage
She graduated in Biology from the University of Barcelona where she obtained her PhD in 1984 while being a mother of three children. She developed sclerochronology, a pioneering technique at the time. These works enabled her to obtain an André Mayer scholarship from the FAO at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (1988-1989). Upon returning to the Institute of Marine Sciences (CSIC) as a Head scientist in 1986, she moved to Mallorca to the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies (CSIC/UIB) in 1990.
During her career, she has studied fish communities across the world and she has published around 200 papers and supervised 15 Doctoral Theses. She was Chief Scientist on the first Antarctic expedition of the BIO Hespérides in 1991, and she participated in 7 more Antarctic campaigns, among other oceanographic campaigns. She was the first female in charge of the Marine Science and Technology National Plan, and was also the coordinator of ERA-Nets for the Ministry of Science and Technology (2002-2008). From 2008 to 2016 she has been the director of the IMEDEA.
Marta Jordi
Maó, Balearic Islands, Spain (1980)
Historian of science and coordinator of the Minorcan Institute of Studies, which promotes Minorca as a space for generating, transferring, and exchanging knowledge
Her research experience began in the Department of Fundamental Physics at the University of Barcelona, in the field of solid-state physics. However, most of her career has been focused on the history of physics, with the aim of considering science as a way to understand the world, as well as a social and historical phenomenon.
She wrote her doctoral thesis on history of quantum physics at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin. Later she did scientific research and was a lecturer of History of phisics and mathematics at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz.
Currently she is the scientific coordinator of the Minorcan Institute of Studies. There she seeks to promote the promote the research about, from and for Minorca, and to make it available to society.

Rita Ferrer Tur
Formentera, Balearic Islands, Spain (1992)
She participates in the design of Clinical Trials for new drugs
She graduated in Biomedical Sciences degree from the Autonomous University of Barcelona. In 2013 she moved to Germany where she took the fourth year of her degree at the Universität Duisburg-Essen through an Erasmus programme. There she began to collaborate as a researcher at the Universitätsklinikum Essen in the Department of Immunology.
Also in Germany, she took the Master's Molecular and Developmental Stem Cell Biology at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. She also continued working as a researcher at the Department of Transfusion Medicine at the Universitätsklinikum Essen, where she specialized in the field of mesenchymal stem cells and extracellular vesicles and she participated in the publication of several scientific papers.
In 2017 she completed a second Master's Degree in Monitoring of Clinical Trials and in 2018 she began working in a Geneva-based multinational specialized in clinical research. She currently continues her work in the same company, in the design of Clinical Trials for the pharmacological development of the pharmaceutical industry.
M. Antònia Tugores Pons
Sineu, Balearic Islands, Spain (1979)
Data and computer technician working on so cio-technical systems to better understand human mobility, transport or epidemics and in fectious diseases spreading
Mathematician by training, her professional career has been related to software development.
She worked for two private companies: First, she was invol ved in the creation of a video game engine, and then, in the development of a distributed computing middleware (grid).
In 2010 she joined the IFISC (UIB-CSIC), Institute of Interdis ciplinary Physics and Complex Systems. She conducted the integration of IFISC into the European Grid computing ne twork. Later on, she became interested socio-technical sys tems and data analysis. Since then, she has been involved in projects related to these topics. In addition, she is mentoring researchers from different areas in computational processes optimization and in the use of technologies.
