2013 was characterized by a collection of management and scientific initiatives

intended for consolidating this new reality. Some of the activities conducted during
the year that stand out are:

• 2011-2014 Strategic Plan Follow-up.

• 2013 Action Plan Execution.

• Research Subprogramme Consolidation.

• Execution of actions provided in the Training Plan.

• Obtaining both public and private external funding for CIBERESP activities and
projects.

• Development of communication and dissemination activities (Newsletter,
dissemination through the web, etc.).

The annual evaluation conducted in 2011 by the ISCIII Technical Evaluation Com-

mission gave an excellent assessment of the Consortium as a result of the effort

and the capacity of the research groups making up the Consortium. Said research
groups are formed by a critical mass of professionals that are highly knowledgea-

ble in epidemiology and public health. The recommendations of said Commission
have been incorporated in the 2013 Multiannual Plan and 2013 Annual Plan and

they include, most particularly, i) launching new collaborative initiatives involving

the highest possible number of groups in the long term; ii) maximizing the interna-
tional impacts of original articles published by CIBERESP to enhance its presence

and leadership; iii) fomenting leadership in international projects; iv) continuing

with a governance policy that grants autonomy and responsibility to programme
coordinators.
