Organization
Organizational Structure
The CIBERES is one of the eight thematic areas forming the Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red (CIBER), a Spanish research consortium in the field of biomedical research with great scien- tific potential, under the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) – Ministry of the Economy and Compet- itiveness.
The Respiratory Disease area is made up of 34 research groups, keeping its independence as regards scientific management. Its organisa- tional structure is based on the research groups belonging to this and its activity revolves around the Research Programmes and Transversal Pro- grammes, with a coordinator for each Programme belonging to the Steering Committee. Scientific decisions are made by the Scientific Director, ad- vised by said Steering Committee and the Exter- nal Scientific Committee.
The Steering Committee is presided over by the Scientific Director and made up of the coordina- tors of the programmes and Managing Director of the CIBER.
The External Scientific Committee is a body for scientific support and advice, made up of relevant personalities in the field of health sciences stand- ing out for their professional or scientific careers in line with the objectives of the thematic area.
The senior administrative bodies of the CIBERES are the Governing Body and the Permanent Com- mission, common for all the CIBER research areas.
The Governing Body is made up of three repre- sentatives of the ISCIII and by an institutional rep- resentative of each of the centres in the consorti- um. It is presided over by the Director of the ISCIII and meets every six months.
The Permanent Commission is an executive com- mittee made up of the ISCIII and 8 members of the Governing Body, who can be renewed on an annual basis.
Both the operation and the purposes of the gov- erning, support and advisory bodies are estab- lished in the statutes of the CIBER.
