CIBER-BBN
The main objective of the conference was once again to favor the meeting of the
Conferences:
groups, the identification of synergies and shared knowledge between members of
the consortium, and to show the results of the collaborative research conducted in

the framework of intramural projects.

Over 160 people attended the conference, essentially members of the CIBER-BBN

groups, but also from other research institutions and centres.

The day before the conference, a prior meeting with the PIs of the consortium was
held at the same location. They discussed some of the ongoing actions of the CIBER-

BBN, evaluation results, evaluation parameters for future years, budget aspects,

strategic plan content, etc.
Like on previous occasions, the inaugural session of the Conference included the

presence of ISCIII representatives (Lisardo Boscá, as the General Subdirectorate

for the Evaluation and Promotion of Research). Mr. José Ángel Narváez Bueno,
Vice-Chancellor of University Coordination of the Universidad de Málaga, was also

present in the inaugural act. Both accompanied Pablo Laguna, CIBER-BBN Scientific

Director, in inaugurating the event.

Each of the two days of the conference, there was a plenary session conducted by
important investigators from their fields. These two plenary sessions were:

•
Polymer conjugates as nanosized medicines. Ma Jesús Vicent, Príncipe Felipe
Research Centre.

• A Description of the Human Brain Project. Vicente Martín, Polytechnical Uni-
