Training
Programme
Coordinator: Xavier Forns Bernhardt
One of the CIBEREHD’s aims is to promote the training of our researchers, (postdoctorate, predoctorate, nurses and technical staff) to raise the level of research and facilitate interaction between the different groups. These tasks are coordinated through the Training Plan as part of the Annual Action Plan.
The Training Plan of the CIBER for Liver and Digestive Diseases is implemented in the following measures:
• Training stays at CIBEREHD centres.
• Short training stays in Spain or abroad (maximum 8 weeks and exceptionally up to 3 months).
• Intramural visiting teacher programmes.
• Holding training courses or activities considered to be of interest for the CIBEREHD.
• Promoting scientific activities arranged by members of the CIBEREHD (sponsoring and financing seminars, symposia, courses for postgraduates), cooperating with activities for training scientific associations and virtual training activities given through
the web.
In 2018,a total number of 28 grants were awarded to our researchers for different activities
covered by the Training Plan Programme. The beneficiaries of these funds were 8 attached and 18 contracted members. The activities financed were 2 short stays abroad,3 short stays in Spain for specific training and grants for attending 17 training courses in Spain and 6 courses abroad.
Some of these activities that could be highlighted are training stays at International and National Centres:
• Dr. Sofía Pérez del Pulgar from the group led by Dr. Xavier Forns received funding for a short stay at Dr Mala Maini’s Laboratory at the University College of London.
• Dr. David Fernández Ramos and Dr. Marta María Varela Rey, from Dr. José María Mato’s group, were given a grant for a short stay at the Pathology and Molecular and Cellular Therapy Department of the Instituto de Biomedicina de Valencia under Dr. Marta Casado.
We also co-financed or guaranteed the following Courses arranged by members of our Centre:
