Coordination of the Centre and Organisational Bodies

CIDNUR’s management is guaranteed by the following bodies:

Coordinator - appointed by the President of the ESEUL between the ESEUL Coordinating Professors with a doctorate in nursing, and recognised merit in research.

Scientific Council - chaired by the CIDNUR Coordinator, consisting of all CIDNUR members, with a doctoral degree or integrated in a research career pathway, teaching staff at universities or teaching staff at a polytechnic higher education insitute.

Coordinating Committee of the Scientific Council (Scientific and Management Board) - constituted by the CIDNUR Coordinator and the Research Groups Coordinators.

External Monitoring Board - made up of five PhD researchers external to ESEL with recognised international merit, namely in research areas of interest to the CIDNUR Research Groups.

Citizens’ Council – composed of a diverse profile of representatives from society, including academia, civil society organisations, health and social care services, patient or caregiver associations, as well as experts in ethics, innovation, or public policy.

 

The competences of the representatives of each of the CIDNUR management bodies and the articulation between them are provided for in the Centre’s Regulation.

Management of the Centre is ensured by the Coordinator, in articulation with the Research Groups Coordinators, in order to guarantee the necessary fluidity for the processes underlying the research activities in a national and international context.

The participation of researchers in the strategic management of the Centre is guaranteed by the Scientific Council and at the Research Groups’ periodic meetings.

Social responsibility is a commitment of ESEUL and CIDNUR and is promoted through the constant development of articulation mechanisms with institutional partners and communities for collaborative and transdisciplinary research. Cooperative working is intended, from the identification of problems to the dissemination of research results and their appropriation and integration in society. The CIDNUR Citizens’ Council, through biannual meetings, is one of the mechanisms that ensures the integration of diverse perspectives into the reflection, planning, and evaluation of research activities. The Council acts as an advisory body, contributing to aligning research with society’s needs and values.

The External Monitoring Board, an assessment and advisory body, seeks to ensure the strategic focus of CIDNUR's development in the pursuit of its Mission, in order to achieve its Vision.
