R&D Policy
The CIC bioGUNE R&D policy lays on fundamental pillars of Excellent Research in biosciences and Technology Transfer. Our activities are devoted to generation of knowledge and transfer of technologies to society and centered in specialization and excellence.
Our R&D activities follow central aspects like:
- High impact of research activities focused on ameliorating wealth of society and framed in the strategic research initiative devoted to the development of the Basque Country
- Creation and education of young scientific talent and promote career path to fulfill personal and professional development of talent
- Institutional cooperation at local, national and international level
- Internationalization and visibility of Center's activities
- Promote the knowledge transfer to society and contribute to the economic development and competitiveness of biomedicine and biotechnology industry in the Basque Country
- Insure diffusion and outreach of scientific knowledge to the society and industry
- Effective and transparent management of resources to fulfill funding agencies expectation and priorities in the Basque Country.
Se ha realizado una auditoría basada en procesos y enfocada a los aspectos significativos, riesgos, objetivos, de acuerdo con la norma de referencia. La auditoría se ha realizado por muestreo y con base a la información disponible en el momento de la auditoría. Los métodos utilizados han sido entrevistas, observación de evidencias, y revisión de la documentación y registros.
El equipo auditor considera que se han cumplido los objetivos de la auditoría y la organización ha establecido y mantenido su sistema de gestión de acuerdo a los requisitos de la norma y demuestra la capacidad del sistema para cumplir eficazmente con los requisitos del producto/servicio para el alcance, objetivos y pollitica de la organización.
