The Universitat Jaume I and the company Medtronic have renewed the agreement for the Medtronic Chair in Surgical Training and Research, the only one from this multinational in Spain, for a further three years. The chair was created in 2016 thanks to the faculty of the UJI's Predepartmental Unit of Medicine and the company's interest in promoting research and teaching in the field of surgery, with the collaboration of the Castelló General University Hospital.

The signing ceremony was attended by the rector of the Universitat Jaume I, Eva Alcón; the vice-rector for Planning, Coordination and Communication, Modesto Fabra; the vice-rector for Studies and Teaching, Isabel García; and the director of the Chair, Antonio Llueca; the director of Surgical Innovations of Medtronic, Lluís Serra; the director of Marketing of Surgical Innovations, Miguel Cano; the manager of the Castelló General University Hospital, Ricardo Tosca, and the head of the General and Digestive Surgery service of this hospital, Manuel Laguna.

The Chair focuses its activity on research related to oncological surgery, with the aim of promoting surgical training, working on the development of new surgical techniques and promoting research into new materials and instrumentation in the field of surgery. It supports seven lines of research, including the validation of three predictive models of suboptimal cytoreductive surgery in advanced ovarian cancer, and also the study of safety in minimally invasive surgery during the covid-19 pandemic.
