Organisational Structure
The CIBERER is one of the eight thematic areas in the Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red (CIBER), a Spanish research consortium in the field of biomedical research with enormous scientific potential, under the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) – Ministry of the Economy and Competitiveness. In 2016 this consisted of 8 thematic areas, which were extended to 11 in 2017.
The CIBERER is made up of 62 research groups, belonging to institutions of different types: University Hospitals, Universities, Public Research Bodies, such as the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) itself, the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) and the Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas (CIEMAT), as well as the Research Centres of Spain’s regional ‘Autonomous Communities’. Each of these groups constitutes a CIBERER Unit.
The CIBERER has a large team of human resources consisting of over 700 people, including a substantial staff of its own researchers and members of groups as personnel attached to the CIBERER. This extensive team is made up of basic and clinical biomedical researchers, research technicians and management staff.
As a public consortium, the CIBERER is thus governed by a Governing Body and a Permanent Committee (its governing and management bodies) in which the institutions in the consortium take part. The organisational structure is made up of the Scientific Management, under Dr. Lapunzina, which along with the Management Committee coordinates the work done by the 7 Scientific Programmes into which CIBERER groups are split. The CIBER Technical Unit and the Scientific Management Team provide the administrative support required for the Institution to run.
Members of the Management Committee
The Management Committee is presided over by the Scientific Director and made up of the coordinators of the programmes and manager of the CIBER.
