The Universidade Estadual Paulista de Sao Paulo (Brazil), the Federal University of Paraiba, located in the city of João Pessoa (Brazil), the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California (USA), the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research in Bangalore (India) and the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (Mexico) are the scientific exchanges resulting from the first resolution of CREAF's Severo Ochoa International Mobility call for the period 2024-2028. 

The technical coordinator of CREAF's Severo Ochoa programme, Maria Josep Broncano Atencia, explains that the aim of this initiative is to "attract talent and strengthen the leadership of our research in the international arena". She assures that "the interest and commitment of CREAF research staff to international scientific exchange was evident with the success of the previous edition of the mobility programme, which reaffirms the objective of the Severo Ochoa distinction and CREAF to continue promoting international research networks, facilitating cooperation with leading institutions and outstanding research staff".

Research visits to the centre include the stay of Indian researcher Alakananda Maitra to further her collaboration with the centre's researcher Ferran Sayol Altarriba on biodiversity and various bird species; that of researcher Lisieux Fuzessy to deepen her joint work with scientist Daniel Sol Rueda on animal response to environmental changes; as well as the synergy in scientific aspects on biodiversity between Professor Ricardo Lourenço-de-Moraes and CREAF researcher Felipe Siqueira Campos. The centre is also hosting Mexican specialist Álvaro Sampieri Croda for a one-year sabbatical period, during which he will strengthen his scientific links with researcher Xavier Domene Casadesús on sustainable soil management.

The mobility of CREAF staff abroad includes the stay of postdoctoral researcher Estefanía Muñoz Hoyos, who specialises in water and carbon balances in terrestrial ecosystems, at the Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California (USA), to actively participate in the field of knowledge of researcher Karis McFarlane
