The Spanish Biomedical Research Centre in Diabetes and Associated Metabolic Disorders (Ciberdem) is a public state consortium established by the Carlos III Health Institute (Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness). Constituted by 31 elite research groups in 19 associate institutions, it represents the biggest network of scientific diabetes research in Spain. Its objectives are to lead highest standards of research practice and to accelerate the translation of scientific results into clinical application.

Ciberdem looks to involve not only the scientific community but also the business sector in R&D investment. The consortium offers companies the possibility of working together on research projects, scientific consultancy, organisation of scientific events and socially responsible corporate actions.

Ciberdem divulges its scientific work through multiple actions such as the periodic organisation of scientific seminars and its annual Science Open Day always with the active collaboration of patient associations.

In its mision to promote diabetes research Ciberdem has created «Investiga la diabetes», an initiative which seeks to increase awareness of the diabetes problem in Spain. Its objective is to generate active participation from society and business with the aim of collecting funds which will enable the continued promotion and financing of scientific activity to find new means of preventing, diagnosing, treating and curing diabetes.
