CNIO’s royalty income in 2016 is double that of 2012. A total of 44 inventors, about 10% of the researchers at CNIO, have contributed and benefited from this achievement.” MARIA A. BLASCO Director SPANISH NATIONAL CANCER RESEARCH CENTRE, CNIO 7 FOREWORD FOREWORD Maria A. Blasco Director This year, once again, the data on CNIO’s scientific performance illustrate that we are doing a superb job contributing towards scientific breakthroughs. During 2016, the CNIO authored a total of 239 papers, 28 of which were published in journals with impact factors ( IF ) ranging from 10 to 15, and 32 papers in journals with impact factors greater than 15. Comparison with previous years ( 2006-2016 ) indicates that CNIO has continued to increase the numbers of papers published in top journals with IF greater than 15. With the aim of upholding the CNIO’s strategy to remain an international Research Centre of Excellence and an influential institution in cancer research worldwide, 2016 saw the establishment of a CNIO Department of International Affairs. This new Department is headed by Carolina Pola who was the Editor of Nature Medicine for over seven years, as well as the former Director of Communications at Pharmamar, the most successful Spanish pharma company devoted to anti-tumour therapies. Since the creation of the Department of International Affairs, Carolina has redefined our international approach to embed the European concept of ‘ Responsible Research and Innovation ’ ( RRI ) in our institutional and research core. This new perspective, alongside several other efforts made by the Department, have resulted in several international collaborations that will bear fruit next year in the form of joint scientific symposiums to strengthen our research groups, as well as a plan to boost our recruitment of international talent. Our capacity to attract and retain scientific talent, providing new investigators with an interdisciplinary and multicultural environment, has become an integral part of our international agenda, which we will continue to nurture in the upcoming years. I am also happy to mention that we continue to attract new and talented young group leaders to the CNIO. After the incorporation, in 2015, of two Junior Groups working in metastasis ( led by Hector Peinado and Manuel Valiente ) in the Molecular Oncology Programme, we welcomed another new Junior Group to the Programme in 2016 : the Metabolism and Cell Signalling Group, led by Alejo Efeyan who joined the CNIO at the beginning of 2016 SPANISH NATIONAL CANCER RESEARCH CENTRE, CNIO 9 FOREWORD after a brilliant postdoc with David Sabatini at the Massachusetts one on ATR inhibitors, both are very close to reaching the clinical Institute of Technology ( MIT, Boston, USA ). testing stage. During 2016, we also completed the selection process to Commercialisation and return on investment in research remain incorporate two new Groups in the Structural Biology and priorities. Royalty income and milestone payments collected in Biocomputing Programme, with the aim of reinforcing lines 2016 raised more than 650 thousand euros. This includes revenues of research in structural biology at the CNIO. The two new from patent licences as well as from commercialisation of research Junior Group Leaders who will start at CNIO in 2017 are : Ivan tools such as monoclonal antibodies. Following CNIO’s policy Plaza Menacho, currently Senior Research associate at the of royalty revenue share, this income flows back to the CNIO’s Structural Biology Laboratory at the Biozentrum, Univesity of research activities as well as to the inventors themselves. A total Basel, Switzerland ; and Rafael Fernández Leiro, from the MRC of 44 inventors, about 10% of the researchers at CNIO, have Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK. contributed and benefited from this achievement. In 2016, we also created a new service unit at the CNIO : the Industrial partnerships remain key to achieve valorisation of Biological Text Mining Unit, which is focused on the application scientific knowledge. Valorisation is not just about ‘ money ’, but and development of biomedical text mining technologies that are also about the impact that can be created through successful becoming a key tool for the efficient exploitation of information alliances with industry. In such collaborations, both the CNIO contained in unstructured data repositories. This Unit is fully and its industrial counterpart are committed to working towards funded through the ‘ Plan de Impulso de las Tecnologías del a common goal and to jointly undertaking all the steps needed to Lenguaje de la Agenda Digital ( PITL )’, in the framework of conduct the research, as well as to identifying the best possible an agreement (‘ encomienda ’) between the Secretary of State protection and commercialisation of the results. In 2016, new of Telecommunications of the Spanish Ministry of Energy, contracts with industry secured future revenues for collaborative Tourism and Digital Agenda ( MINETAD ) and the CNIO. We research that amount to nearly 4 million euros, which represents also revised the organisation of the two Bioinformatics Units about 10 % of CNIO’s annual income. that were providing support and expertise to our investigators ; namely, the Bioinformatics Unit of the Structural Biology and The CNIO External Scientific Advisory Board ( SAB ), currently Biocomputing Programme, and the Translational Bioinformatics chaired by Mariann Bienz, is of utmost importance for guiding Unit of the Clinical Research Programme. Under a new single the strategic plans of the CNIO as well as for the review of our structure, the CNIO Bioinformatics Unit, headed by Fátima Al research groups. We would like to wholeheartedly thank our Shahrour, we have joined the efforts of both previous units in former SAB member Joan Massagué ( Memorial Sloan Kettering order to better serve the needs of the CNIO Research Groups Cancer Center, New York, USA ) for his committed dedication and to better coordinate and manage bioinformatics projects. to the CNIO SAB that lasted for over a decade ( 2003-2016 ). Joan Massagué, served as Chair of the CNIO SAB from 2011 to The valorisation of the research results generated by CNIO’s 2014, and as member for the remaining 9 years.

    Eurovision Song Contest: la musica che unisce l'Europa... e non solo! C'è chi la definisce la "Champions League" della musica e in fondo non sbaglia. L'Eurovision è una grande festa, ma soprattutto è un concorso in cui i Paesi d'Europa si sfidano a colpi di note. Tecnicamente, è un concorso fra televisioni, visto che ad organizzarlo è l'EBU (European Broadcasting Union), l'ente che riunisce le tv pubbliche d'Europa e del bacino del Mediterraneo. Noi italiani l'abbiamo a lungo chiamato Eurofestival, i francesi sciovinisti lo chiamano Concours Eurovision de la Chanson, l'abbreviazione per tutti è Eurovision. Oggi più che mai è una rassegna globale, che vede protagonisti nel 2019 41 paesi: 40 aderenti all'ente organizzatore più l'Australia, che dell'EBU è solo membro associato, essendo fuori dall'area, ma che nel 2015 fu invitata per festeggiare i 60 anni del concorso per via dei grandi ascolti che la rassegna fa in quel paese e che poi, a partire dal 2016, è stata ufficialmente invitata dall’organizzazione. L'ideatore della rassegna fu un italiano, Sergio Pugliese, nel 1956 direttore della RAI, che ispirandosi a Sanremo volle creare una rassegna musicale europea. La propose a Marcel Bezençon, il franco-svizzero allora direttore generale del neonato consorzio eurovisione, che mise il sigillo sull'idea: ecco così nascere un concorso di musica con lo scopo nobile di promuovere la collaborazione e l'amicizia tra i popoli europei, la ricostituzione di un continente dilaniato dalla guerra attraverso lo spettacolo e la tv. E oltre a questo, molto più prosaicamente, anche sperimentare una diretta in simultanea in più paesi e promuovere il mezzo televisivo nel vecchio continente.
