Throughout 2014, 8 of the 9 CIBERs have merged in a central office . PDTT followed this same line, contributing to the CIBER unification process in the Transfer Area . In November 2014 the concept of a Transfer Manager was incorporated into CIBER, and from this time on PDTT has maintained close communication with the person in this position, sending all the information required about the work done by CIBERES transfer . PDTT currently works closely with CIBER transfer .
Other tasks in establishing a systematic process in PDTT CIBERES this year was:
• Annual meeting and timely consultation provided with the CIBERES Innovation Committee . To discuss topics relating to innovation and transfer in CIBERES, to advise Scientific Management and establish processes . Furthermore, the members are evaluators of the proposals for transfer projects funded by CIBERES, always under a non-disclosure agreement and certifying that there is no conflict of interests .
• Drafting, delivering, negotiating and correcting model documents to enforce legal compliance in the framework of the CIBERES . Non-disclosure agreements, inventor agreements, co-ownership agreements, collaboration agreements with companies, consortium agreements, assignment agreements, licensing agreements...
• From the beginning, the CIBERES Innovation Committee has identified as a priority the need to provide CIBERES with a manager or a service that will activate participation of CIBERES groups in European and international calls for proposals aimed at knowledge transfer to the health care market . This year, CIBERES has participated in the Networks and Managers call for proposals sponsored by MINECO together with CIBERBBN and CIBERER for the purpose of obtaining funds for hiring a manager for what will be the Research Internationalisation Support Platform (RSP) .The project has been granted and after May 2015 we will have a new manager dedicated exclusively to this task for the 3 CIBER areas involved . The PDTT belongs to the work group linked to this project in relation to the improvement of the economic return of the effort made by CIBER_BBN/ER/RES . PDTT has participated in this process until now and will continue participating from the RSP in the future .
• Drafting PDTT reports and action plans, PDTT presentations, executive summaries, minutes, etc .
• Space in the CIBER intranet open to attached and hired CIBERES staff contains both the CIBERES technology offer and model documents required for CIBER/ES transfer, PDTT dissemination, information and operation documentation .
