Strategic Plan 2023-2027

In 2023, IGTP developed a strategic plan aimed at defining the institution's strategic priorities through the formulation of unique actions to be developed over the next five years.

This plan will consolidate and strengthen IGTP’s scientific capabilities across all areas of activity. The plan has taken into account the current context, as well as the expectations and aspirations of the organisation.

SO1 Opting for a campus model that facilitates the participation and coordination of R+D+I activities between institutions and creates an environment with unique capabilities.

SO2 Promoting the participation of professionals from the HUGTiP in research activities and networking with other organizations in the environment.

SO3 Consolidate collaboration between the research groups of the institutions of the campus, affirm scientific programmes and favour high-impact multidisciplinary projects.

SO4 Strengthen scientific infrastructure and coordinate areas and research groups with a system that permits both the redefinition of the areas and the evaluation of groups.

SO5 Drive the growth of clinical research in the healthcare services of the HUGTiP, developing the Clinical Trials Unit, the processes and the necessary resources.

SO6 Guarantee the management processes for R+D+I, insure the suitability of resources and the provision and functional distribution of floor space.

SO7 Guarantee the application of initiatives that facilitate the promotion, capacitation, training and development of researchers and ensure gender equality.

SO8 Position the IGTP as a reference node for scientific core facilities in the environment and position the CMCiB as a unique national and international facility.

SO9 Strengthen and consolidate the culture of innovation within the institute and actions aimed at supporting the processes of innovation and technology transfer.

SO10 Promote the communications of the IGTP, considering both scientific activity and those that promote participation by society.
