The validity of the Strategic Plan governing the scientific activity of CIBERESP since its creation ended in 2010 . The amendment to the Bylaws together with the new challenges identified throughout the 2007- 2010 period underlined the need to adapt the Multiannual Action Plan of the Consortium for the 2011-2014 period to the new detected needs .
CIBERESP operating as a networking centre is fully committed to intramural collaboration, both intra- programme and inter-programmes, having stable bridges of collaboration among the groups forming it . At the same time, reinforcing collaborations with other national and international research centres has been proposed, thus allowing large-scale research projects that would be difficult to conduct alone .
Similarly, in its new Strategic Plan CIBERESP expresses the need to reinforce its participation on an international level, both at the research project level and by means of participation in European policy decision-making forums, including an individualized internationalization plan for each programme .
CIBERESP also does not look overlook the need to disseminate and communicate the research results obtained, a basic activity for transferring the generated knowledge and for assessing R+D+I activity, reserving within each programme a section aimed particularly at communication and dissemination of these results .
Also, as a public centre, it is committed to promoting scientific culture, using the technical resources it possesses, and especially its web portal, and participating in initiatives aimed at the dissemination of the activity and scientific knowledge to society, such as the Semana de la Ciencia .
