SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY

Dissemination Actions

With its Communication plan, CIBERER continuously informed the society about the

work of the research groups, their projects, the diseases they are researching and the
new knowledge generated. Patients and support associations are the main targets of

these communication actions.

For the dissemination activities, the CIBERER Communication Department maintained
continuous contact with the press, has prepared a scientific newsletter and a social

newsletter, has managed a Twitter account and kept the CIBERER web updated.

CIBERER has also directly approached patients and their families with the periodic

organization of conferences or with their presence in scientific, institutional and social
forums relating to RD.

The CIBERER Communication Plan is split into two large lines of action, the Internal

Communication Service and the External Communication Service.

With this service and through the investigators and professionals associated with the

institution, CIBERER consolidated its activity and corporate image and brought to-
Internal
gether its networking structure.
Communication
CIBERER worked hard to turn its web page (www.ciberer.es) into an effective instru-
Service
ment. All the calls for proposals (use, training, aid programmes, etc.) that may be of

interest for the groups, all the events organized by CIBERER or relating to RD, updated

news relating to the Institution and press clips available on the Intranet have been
included. This web page was updated every day.

The CIBERER Electronic Newsletter must also be highlighted. It is a very effective pu-

blication, on one hand, for disseminating the research in RD conducted by CIBERER
and on the other, for providing all the information of interest about RD to investigators

that are both hired by and affiliated with our Institution.
