Despite budget cutbacks in R&D&I and its internationalization, it can generally be said
that CIBERES maintained internationalization results and activities in 2013 compared

to previous years and achieved the objectives proposed for this period.

An example of this would be in relation to publications and projects where, as men-
tioned in the corresponding section, CIBERES improved its “International Collabora-

tion” indicator in reference to the scientific production of an institution produced in

collaboration with foreign institutions.

Actions of both Instituto de Salud Carlos III and of the Centro de desarrollo tecnológico
industrial (CDTI) with the offices of international projects also continued. Joint ac-

tions were carried out with these entities intended for promoting topics of interest for

CIBERES to include them in future calls for proposals of the Horizon Programme 2020.

In 2013, CIBERES managers participated, fundamentally online, in specific training in
internationalization promoted by the European Commission through projects such as

Fit To Health, or by other institutions such as the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI).

In 2013, CIBERES continued participating in and coordinating ongoing European pro-
jects in which it is a partner and/or coordinator, and several project proposals have

been submitted for the final call for proposals for projects in the 7th Framework Pro-

gramme. The objective of increasing participation in international projects was met,
and this was done as project coordinators. CIBERES continued searching for and dis-

seminating all those international calls for proposals that the research groups could

submit a proposal to.
In the framework of planning the internationalization of CIBERES, which is an element

having a transversal dimension, the internationalization activities performed by active

Platforms, such as the Pulmonary Biobank Platform (PBC), the development of the 13
European Initial Training Network Pulmonary Imaging Network (P-NET) project, Ref: 20
