Organisational structure
The CIBEROBN 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 scientific po- tential, under the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) – Ministry of the Economy and Competitiveness.
The Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition area is made up of 31 research groups, keeping its in- dependence as regards scientific management. Its organisational structure is based on the research groups belonging to this and its activity revolves around the Research Programmes and Transversal Programmes, with a coordinator for each Program- me belonging to the Steering Committee. Scientific decisions are made by the Scientific Director, advi- sed by said Steering Committee and the External Scientific Committee.
The Steering Committee is presided over by the Scientific Director and made up of the coordinators 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 standing out for their professional or scientific careers in line with the objectives of the thematic area.
The senior administrative bodies of the CIBEROBN are the Governing Body and the Permanent Com- mission, common for all the CIBER research areas.
The Governing Body is made up of three represen- tatives of the ISCIII and by an institutional represen- tative of each of the centres in the consortium. 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 gover- ning, support and advisory bodies are established in the statutes of the CIBER.
