Looking back at 2019-2020, the overwhelming situation of COVID-19 pandemic, in which we are still immersed, immediately comes to everybody’s mind. However, I would like to highlight 2019-2020 as the years in which our center completed a substantial remodelling process, following the advice of the SAB that visited us in December 2018 and the internal analysis
