Institució CERCA

As a way of involving CERCA centres directly in the system’s strategy and the different work initiatives, the CERCA Institute has several working groups made up of the staff responsible for the project in the institute and one or more persons appointed from each centre, usually heads of area.

These working groups evolve according to needs and meet regularly throughout the year. They are responsible for communicating the centres’ needs and proposals and conveying the work proposals and results to the entire organisation they represent.

The CERCA working groups are a key tool in developing joint strategies and opening up research bodies to new proposals.

Along with the working groups, there are two committees (legal and gender) made up of representatives chosen by research areas. The purpose of these committees, which meet at least twice a year, is to propose and monitor joint policies in the centres.
