Organisational Structure
The CIBERDEM is one of the thematic areas forming the Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red (CIBER), a Spanish research consortium in the field of biomedical research with great scientific potential, under the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) – Ministry of the Economy and Competitiveness. In 2016 this was made up of 8 thematic areas, extended to 11 in 2017.
The area of Diabetes and associated Metabolic Diseases is made up of 30 research groups, retaining its independence as regards scientific management. Its organisational structure is based on its research groups and its activity revolves around its Research Programmes and Transversal Programmes, there being a coordinator for each Programme belonging to the Steering Committee. Scientific decisions are made by the Scientific Director, advised by the Steering Committee and the External Scientific Committee.

EXTERnAL ADVISORY SCIEnTIFIC COMMITTEE
The External Advisory Scientific Committee is a body for scientific support and assessment, made up of relevant personalities in the field of health sciences standing out for their professional or scientific career in line with the centre’s objectives. This is the body in charge of performing the annual assessment of the work done by CIBERDEM and its research groups.
The senior governing bodies of the CIBERDEM are the governing Board and the Permanent Commission, common for all CIBER research areas.
The governing Board is made up of three representatives of the ISCIII and one institutional representative of each of the centres in the consortium. This is presided over by the director of the ISCIII and meets every six months. The Permanent Commission is an executive committee, formed by the ISCIII and 8 members of the governing Board, who can be renewed annually.
Both the operation and the purposes of the governing, support and assessment bodies are established in the statutes of the CIBER.
