Technology transfer
One of the CIBER’s main aims is the transfer of re- search results into clinical practice, and one of the best tools existing for this purpose is technology transfer. The Unit managing this at the CIBER sets out to act as a bridge between our researchers and other agents in the Science and Technology System (companies, business associations, other research organisations, etc.) to make cooperation with these bodies more effective. This means that research re- sults will be efficiently developed and can succeed

in being applied. Work is done in several lines to this end:
• Training in innovation management and contin- uous contact with our researchers to monitor their results.
In this respect, last year the first general event of the CIBER in training on technology transfer and innovation was held, on 26th February 2015 and where national experts took part sharing their knowledge in matters such as industrial proper- ty, business creation or publication in open ac- cess, etc.
• Protection of their research results and man- agement of cooperation with other agents, as vouched for by applications for patents and signing licensing contracts, amongst other agreements.
Hence, over 20 new patent applications were made and seven licensing agreements were signed at the CIBER in 2015.
• The presentation of research results and tech- nological capacities of our groups.
Among many other measures and only as an ex-
For example, the registration of the “community trademark” of the CIBER has been processed, or steps have been taken for registering intellectual property rights for audio-visual projects, amongst many others.
Dissemination measures
The CIBER’s Communication Department carried out different measures for dissemination and pub- licity in 2015 in order to improve the Centre’s visibili- ty, as well as to make known the research work done by groups in its eight thematic areas.
We will now give details of the milestones in Com- munication of the CIBER-BBN in 2015:
