The CEAB

Organization and Team

ORGANIZATION

The Blanes Centre for Advanced Studies (CEAB) is a research institute of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), under the umbrella of the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities. The organisation of the centre complies with the regulations established for CSIC research institutes.

ORGANISATIONAL CHART

The governance of the CEAB rests with the Director, Vice Directors, Management and Board of Governors (management team, manager, department heads and staff representatives). The Scientific Assembly (research staff), the External Scientific Advisory Committee and the Social Council serves as the advisory body. Proposals are submitted to the Board of Governors by the Assembly and various internal committees. The diagram below enables you to quickly understand our organisational structure.

DEPARTMENTS and RESEARCH GROUPS

Scientific staff are administratively organised into three departments: Marine Ecology, Continental Ecology, Ecology and Complexity. Within these departments, research is conducted within specific research groups. Research activities can also be structured around major themes or cross-cutting topics.

CEAB COMMITTEES

CEAB-CSIC has seven committees made up of volunteers who represent the diversity of the Centre’s staff (administrative, technical, research, general services, etc.). They work in key areas such as equity and sustainability. Each committee follows its own agenda, defined by its roles and objectives, and aligns with the Centre’s strategy. They also make proposals to the Management and the Board, and coordinate with one another to establish a common roadmap and avoid overlaps.

External Scientific Advisory Committee

The External Scientific Advisory Committee is made up of a group of prestigious international scientists, experts in the different areas in which the Center works. Its function is to advise the CEAB-CSIC government and ensure the scientific quality of the institute.

TEAM

More than 120 professionals make up the CEAB, including scientific and research support staff: research, technical, management and administration, general services, trainee researchers... Multidisciplinary teams thanks to which we can generate scientific knowledge and share it.
