The Health Research Institute of the Balearic Islands (IdISBa) has successfully completed its participation in the 2026 Mobility Programme of the Network of Clinical, Hospital and Biosanitary Research Management Entities (REGIC), an initiative aimed at promoting the exchange of knowledge, experiences and best practices among professionals involved in biomedical research management across Spain.

Throughout this cycle, IdISBa participated both as a host institution and as a sending organisation, fostering the exchange of experiences in key areas of research management. A total of four mobility placements were carried out, enabling participants to share expertise, identify new working methodologies and strengthen collaborative networks among health research institutes.

Mobility placements undertaken by IdISBa staff

• Ernesto González-Robles Corrales, from the International Projects Office, completed a placement at the Marqués de Valdecilla Research Institute (IDIVAL). His stay focused on gaining in-depth knowledge of the comprehensive management of competitive research funding calls, both public and private, at regional, national and international levels. During the mobility period, he explored the full funding management cycle, from proposal preparation and submission to project financial and administrative monitoring, as well as the final reporting and justification of awarded funds.

• Isabel Teruel, from the Competitive Projects Office, visited the Murcian Institute for Biosanitary Research (IMIB). The placement provided a broad overview of the management of research and human resources grants funded by public and private organisations. The mobility programme covered all stages of the funding process, including the dissemination of calls, application submission, project implementation, financial management, incident monitoring and reporting, as well as the management of research staff contracts linked to funded projects.

Visiting professionals hosted at IdISBa

• Carla Cerdán, from the Parc Taulí Research and Innovation Institute (I3PT), carried out a placement focused on learning about the operation of the Balearic Clinical Research and Clinical Trials Unit (UBICEC). During her visit, she gained insight into the management and coordination of clinical trials, negotiation processes and financial monitoring with sponsors, as well as the organisation of teams involved in clinical research and oncology.

• Isabel García Soler, from FISABIO Foundation, visited IdISBa to learn about the institute's scientific management and quality framework. Her placement focused on research group evaluation processes, preparations for institutional reaccreditation, performance indicator monitoring, and the exchange of best practices in areas such as open science and citizen engagement.

These mobility placements provided a valuable opportunity to exchange experiences, broaden knowledge and promote the continuous improvement of research management processes. IdISBa highly values this REGIC initiative and reaffirms its commitment to interinstitutional collaboration as an essential tool for advancing towards increasingly efficient, innovative and excellence-driven health research management.
