Organisational Structure
CIBER-BBN is one of the thematic areas forming the Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red (CIBER), a Spanish research consortium in the field of biomedical research with enormous scientific capacity, set up under the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) – Ministry of the Economy and Competitiveness. In 2016 it was made up of 8 thematic areas, which were extended to 11 in 2017.
The area of Bioengineering, Biomaterials and Nanomedicine consists of 45 research groups and retains its independence as regards scientific management. Its organisational structure is based on its research groups and its activity revolves around its Research Programmes and Transversal Programmes, with a coordinator for each Programme belonging to the Steering Committee. Scientific decisions are made by the Scientific Director, advised by the aforementioned Steering Committee and the External Scientific Committee.
The senior administrative bodies of the CIBER-BBN are the Governing Body and the Permanent Commission, common for all areas of CIBER research. The Governing Body is made up of three representatives of the ISCIII and one institutional representative of each of the centres in the consortium. It is presided over by the Director of the ISCIII and meets every six months. The Permanent Commission is an executive committee formed of the ISCIII and 8 members of the Governing Body, who can be renewed annually. Both the operation and the purposes of the governing, support and advisory bodies are established in the statutes of the CIBER.
The Steering Committee is presided over by the Scientific Director and formed by the coordinators of the programmes and the CIBER manager.
