SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION

Scientific Communication

The communication activities of the CIBER de Enfermedades Respiratorias from 2012
continued on into 2013.

Social networks such as Twitter were therefore used, and the daily news service for

the respiratory sector was consolidated through the CIBERES web page. The newslet-
ter listing calls for proposals, awards, courses and other relevant events considered

to be of interest for investigators, particularly for our CIBER, as well as the CIBERES:

TITULARES newsletter, which includes the Centre’s most relevant news, were also sent
out monthly.

Like in previous years, communication supported coordination of the 7th Communica-

tion Conference of CIBERES, held in June at the Escuela Nacional de Sanidad de Ma-

drid, and of the 6th Training Conference for Predoctroal and Postdoctoral Investigators,
held in October in Mallorca.

External Communication provided CIBERES and the scientific publications holding the

highest social interest with exposure by handling press notes, media outlets and digital
encounters in the press.

As regards cooperation between CIBER Communication Departments, the events held

during 2013 Science Week must be pointed out. A round table was held in Barcelona

in November at the CIBEK centre, where the 9 CIBERs participated and put forth 9
practical cases of translational research serving the patient. 9 mini interactive scientific

CIBER workshops were given in Madrid at Instituto de Salud Carlos III to 200 students

in the last few years of secondary school.
Finally, the participation of CIBERES in 2013 in the European Communication project,

CommHERE, which started in October 2011 and funded with 2M Euros, must be high-

lighted. CommHERE is led by the Karolinska Institute of Sweden, and CIBERES partici-
pates in the project as a Third Party associated with the Instituto de Salud Carlos III,

an official partner of the project. It primary objective is to improve the communication
13
and management of knowledge of the results obtained in European projects in the area 20
of health to the mass media, to the general public and to another target public, includ- T
R
ing the European Commission, within the European Union.
