CSIC PLAN OF ACTION 2006-2009
AIM

• Estrategic vision of the research activity of the
  organization
• Reference for the decisions relative to resource
  assignment
• Reference for the decisions to be taken in the
  Institutes
• Basis of the four-year administrative contract
  with the General Administration of the State

17
CSIC PLAN OF ACTION 2006-2009
Strategic Plans of Research Institutes

• Institutes elaborate Strategic Plan Proposals
• CSIC appoints External Peer Review Panels upon
  nomination by EMBO and ESF
• Institutes submit their Strategic Plan Proposals
• External Peer Review Panels examine the Strategic
  Plan Proposals and formulate recommendations
• Recommendations on the Strategic Plan Proposals
  are forwarded to the Institutes
• Institutes formulate observations on the
  recommendations and resubmit revised Strategic
  Plan Proposals
• Considering the proposals submitted and the
  recommendations of the External Peer Review
  Panels, the Section Commissions approve the
  Strategic Plans and incorporate them into the
  CSIC Plan of Action
