The CIGUS Network visits the Catalan Research System

La delegación, encabezada por el Secretario Xeral de Universidades, José Alberto Díez de Castro, ha contado con la participación de los vicerrectores de investigación de las tres universidades gallegas (Salvador Naya Fernández de la UDC, Vicente Pérez Muñuzuri de la USC y Belén Rubio Armesto de la UVIGO) y directores, subdirectores y gestores principales de las entidades que integran la Red de Centros de Investigación del SUG.

The delegation, led by the General Secretary of Universities, José Alberto Díez de Castro, was joined by the Research Vice-rectors from the three Galician Universities: Salvador Naya Fernández from the University of A Coruña (UDC), Vicente Pérez Muñuzuri from the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) and Belén Rubio Armesto from the University of Vigo (UVIGO). Additionally, directors, deputy directors and senior managers from the CIGUS Network entities were also present.

These centres -CITIC, CiMUS, CiQUS, CiTIUS, CIM, CINBIO and atlanTTic- had the opportunity to share their experiences and gain insights into the organizational and scientific management of five renowned centres: IDIBAPS, I2CAT, ICFO, CED and ICTA, which represent different success stories within the Catalan Research System. These mutual learning sessions have also contributed to broaden the centres’ contact network and to enhance the positioning of the Galician University System Network of Research Centres on the national scene.

The CIGUS Network comprises the research centres within the Galician University System that have been awarded the CIGUS seal, awarded by the Galician Regional Ministry of Culture, Education and University: CITIC (UDC); CIMUS, CIQUS, CITIUS, IGFAE (USC); and CIM, CINBIO and ATLANTTIC (UVIGO). The CIGUS network is conceived as a forum for reflection, expression and the exchange of ideas between these university centres and the General Secretariat of Universities and serves as a fundamental tool to strengthen and enhance the system’s excellence and to improve its national and international positioning.
