UNIFYING STRUCTURES 

LIRIC is a functional consortium composed of three independent nodes belonging to different organizations but working in the same field.

 

The consortium preserves the independent management of each node while coordinating and strengthening shared structures and activities.

 

Core cohesion elements include:

 

  • Unified governance
  • Website
  • Educational activities (internal and external)
  • Research projects
  • Scientific and lay communication
  • Shared structures and coordinated activities

UNIFIED GOVERNANCE

 

 

LIRIC is composed of the following nodes:

 

  • “Unitat de Medicina Vascular i Metabolisme” (UVASMET), Sant Joan University Hospital
  • “Unitat de Recerca en Lípids i Arteriosclerosis” (URLA), Rovira i Virgili University
  • Biosfer Teslab (Biotech company)

 

Each node maintains its independent management.

 

Umbrella governance structures:

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 

 

Scientific director 

External advisor committee

Future: Official consortium “Patronage” with representatives of the three institutions

 

President:

The President acts in a representative and advisory role.

 

Executive Committee: 

Composed of the primary representatives of each node: 

  • Daiana Ibarretxe (UVASMET)
  • Josep Ribalta (URLA)
  • Núria Amigó (CEO, Biosfer Teslab)
  • Lluís Masana (President)

 

The Executive Committee oversees all educational, research, development, and innovation activities and defines the mechanisms to maintain LIRIC cohesion. It is responsible for all operational decisions.

FOUNDING

At the initial stage of this collaborative structure, a realistic approach is that each node must maintain, manage, and retain its own financial resources.
Future strategic developments should enable the Consortium to access new funding sources collectively
