CMN PROGRESS REPORT 2013

Summary of context and project objectives:

“Campus Mare Nostrum 37/38” (CMN) is the strategy that the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT)and the University of Murcia (UMU), together with other institutions, have chosen to drive joint actions ofimprovement within a global context in pursuit of excellence. The aim of CMN is to promote complementaryresources in terms of teaching, research and campus organization in order to strengthen the relevance ofour universities, not only in our immediate geographical area, the Region of Murcia, but, in the long run, inthe Mediterranean basin.

Stemming from Estrategia Universidad 2015, the Campus of International Excellence Programme (CEI) ofthe Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport is the institutional framework upon which CMN isfounded. The objectives of the CEI programme have far-reaching implications for our university system indifferent ways: the programme sets out (1) to better prepare Spanish universities academically and thusmake them more competitive; (2) to attain greater scientific impact, which will strengthen our position on theinternational stage; and (3) obtain higher levels of efficiency in terms of management. All of these aims shouldultimately lead to an international position from which universities can address the important mission theyare entrusted with as a driving force behind the economic, cultural and social development of our country.These are, undoubtedly, ambitious yet necessary objectives, and ones suited to the commitment to continuouslyimproving the university system in Spain. These objectives have begun to take shape in three specific actionareas resulting from the work carried out by CMN:

1. improvements in teaching and EHEA adaptation,2. improvement of science and knowledge transfer, and3. campus transformation for the development of a comprehensive social model and its interaction with theterritorial environment.

In October 2010, CMN obtained the CEI rating at a regional level. During 2011, 2012 and 2013, CMN hasundertaken significant work in the fields of improvement in teaching and adaptation to the European HigherEducation Area (EHEA), the improvement of science and knowledge transfer, and campus transformation forthe development of a comprehensive social model and its interaction with the territory. On 28 June 2011,the Royal Decree 125/2011 was published. This Decree regulated the transfer of the funds from the Spanishcentral government to the regional government in the form of a refundable loan to the University of Murciafor the development of the CMN project. Six months later, on 23 January 2012, the Collaboration Agreementbetween the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia and CMN was published. This order regulatedthe transfer of the funds from the regional government to the University of Murcia as coordinating institutionin the form of a refundable loan ( 5.3 M. ¤) for the development of the CMN project.

Description of the established actions, the work carried out since the start, and the main resultsachieved to date:

CMN approved a road map during its Executive Committee meeting on 15 February 2011 to carry out theactivities of this Campus of Excellence. This master plan set out different action areas, namely, campusgovernance, project preparation, programmes and plans of action, teaching excellence, scientific excellenceand innovation, and lastly campus life and society.

CMN PROGRESS REPORT 2013

The 2012 CMN progress report was well received by the International Committee, although some areas offurther development were highlighted. Despite the budget-cuts scenario, which is pervasive both in thenational and the regional administrations in our country, by December 2012, the Executive Committee hadalready defined a road map to meet the demands of the Committee; by January 2013 the Rectors, the ViceRectors and representatives of the CMN institutions, had all agreed on the way to move along and implementthe recommendations of the International Committee.

The following is a summary of the actions taken and the results achieved.

Improvements in teaching and EHEA adaptation: collaboration and internationalization:

During 2012 and 2013, CMN has sped up the process of bringing together different CMN partner institutionsto develop joint training actions. This has made it possible to launch CMN Master Degrees, CMN LifelongLearning (LL) Initiatives, as well as developing a stable, core consortium of Mediterranean partners, Southand North, that can facilitate the spread of CMN activities over the Mediterranean basin.

During the 2012-2013 academic year, two Official Master Degrees programs organized by UMU and UPCTwere launched, which shows that the effort to develop joint programs within the otherwise rigid officialacademic regulations in Spain is more than just another item in our to-do list. Other programs are beingdeveloped presently, and a new initiative presented before the end of the second term of 2012-2013 willencourage Master programs in UMU and UPCT to enhance cooperation and “mutual recognition”. Thisinitiative is expected to expand to other programs both in Spain and beyond. This action is tightly linked withthe third edition of the CMN initiative to promote taught programs in English. At the moment, threeundergraduate Degrees and four Master programs are taught in English. And there are more in store.

Joint CMN Lifelong Learning initiatives have strengthened the underpinnings of our University institutionsand other CMN research centres, such as the “Hospital La Arrixaica”, the Regional Government or, amongothers, the Spanish Oceanographic Institute. Our LL strategy is driven by two key factors: cooperation withothers and internationalization. International initiatives such as the International course on Stem Cells; the

CMN PROGRESS REPORT 2013

International Course on Art therapy, in cooperation with Haifa University, and, among many others, Agro-foodMediterranean Know How initiatives in cooperation with “Casa Mediterráneo”, are bringing in a newMediterranean and international dimension to our activities. A good example is Noria: StrengtheningInnovation Strategy and Improving the Technology Transfer in the Water Technology Sector of Morocco,a partnership that seeks to increase capacities of the Moroccan universities in contributing to the technologytransfer in the water technology sector by mobilizing their potential as key players in the Moroccan innovationsystem. In cooperation with other stakeholders in the Mediterranean, namely, Salento (IT), Patras (GR), thisinitiative includes a wealth of the main Moroccan universities: Université Hassan II Mohammedia, Casablanca;Université Mohammed Premier Oujda; Hassan II Institute of Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine, Rabat;Université Abdelmalek Essaâdi, Teouan; Université Moulay Ismail, Meknès; Université Cadi Ayyad, Marrakech;Université Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah; Agence Du Bassin Hydraulique Du Sebou; Chambre de CommerceD’Industrie et de services de Tetouan.

In 2013, the two CMN universities, together with the University L’Orientale (Italy), the University of Leicester(UK), University of Latvia, the Cartagena Chamber of Commerce (Spain), the University of Gabes (Tunisia),the Universitty Abdelhamid Ibn Badis and the University of Mostaganem (Algeria) as well as the Chamberof Commerce of Mostaganem, built up a partnership to carry out a project called “Developing Innovativeand Smart Strategies for Euro-Mediterranean International Lifelong-learning (DISSEMI-LL). This initiative setsout to devise and implement training and ICT strategies that foster the linking up of actors in a selection oflearning scenarios and the building up of new partnerships among countries North and South of theMediterranean around the idea of international lifelong learning as devised by different institutions (Universities;Aggregations of Universities, research centres and companies; Chambers of commerce) and implementedin different cultural settings (different regions in Europe and Northern African countries).

The Erasmus Mundus-EU MARE NOSTRUM program is one of the instruments of CMN to boost mobilityand cooperation with countries in the Mediterranean, especially those on the south basin. Our partners havethe chance to upgrade their human resources in technological and industrial common fields of interest forboth Mediterranean shores - Mediterranean naval & maritime technology, the agro-food sector and the fieldof economics and business. The promotion of joint degrees is accomplished by a mobility scheme that isexpected to favour the recognition of overseas studies, while allowing a complete training of students atpostgraduate level in fields not offered by their home institutions. The program allows the most talentedresearchers to benefit from a mobility period supported by European scholarships. So far, two cohorts ofstudents and staff have taken part in the program, with 164 mobility grants.

CMN PROGRESS REPORT 2013

Improving science and knowledge transfer: international talent and collaboration:

2012 and 2013 have been critical in our research strategy. Scientific impact of our research has increased,international talent has been attracted, new scientific infrastructures are being finished, Clusters are gainingvisibility and new researchers are receiving more support in a wider Mediterranean context.

Redes CMN, our research cluster strategy, has been launched as a fully-fledged web service. Now ourresearch clusters and “nodes” can find an easier way to spread their news, research initiatives and, in essence,be more visible. For the first time in the context of our Universities, our researchers are given the chanceto publish online their own information both in Spanish and English, and, at the same time, address a moreinternational audience. Organized by our Transfer and Valorisation Unit, our CMN day hosted a workshopthat gathered the researchers of the CMN network on Health and Quality of Life and other relevant scientistsin the field, like a representative of Cairo University, the former Tunisian Ministry of Health, the UniversityHealth Center Hadassah-Hebrew (Jerusalem), and a representative of the European 7th Framework Programmefor research. This is one of our tools for our Transfer Unit to develop initiatives of dissemination and networkingacross the Mediterranean.

The other tools are Euro-Mediterranean Transfer Triangles (EUMETTR) and, in the field of water managementresearch, LOWATREAT, a public-private partnerships development and knowledge transfer on water treatmentin rural areas from Maghreb partner countries.

As far as talent is concerned, during 2012 and 2013 CMN has attracted 10 top-notch internationalresearchers to CMN areas such as genomics and molecular biotechnology, animal reproduction, chemistry,quantum chemistry and environmental science. We expect to see the results of this initiative during 2014 andbeyond. These researchers come from the UK (4), Germany (2), Canada, Taiwan, France and Italy. As regardsyoung researchers, a CMN joint action has brought together young researchers from the two CMN Universities.In October 2013, CMM will launch an initiative to promote collaboration among organizations of youngresearchers and the creation of stronger links: MEDSOUK. Taking up from previous work with EMUNI in thisarea, CMN expects to make an important contribution to boost collaboration for young Mediterraneanresearchers.

Campus transformation for the development of a comprehensive social model and its interaction withthe territorial environment:

During 2013 CMN has made important breakthrough in this area. The Trans-Border Campus with Moroccanuniversities is already being developed and 2014 will witness the first joint actions. UMU and UPCT aresharing infrastructures and our campuses are now greener and more environmentally friendly. Togetherwith the so-called new learning spaces, CMN is shaping up a new model of campus that is more international,sustainable and definitely more oriented to the Spanish 2015 University strategy.

Vitalis and Pleiades in UMU and ELDI in UPCT will be the flagships of a new research paradigm in CMN:modern infrastructures that suit the needs of research lines, rather than those of individual researchers. CMN“Sostenible” is our initiative to turn our campuses into a sustainable model that can be transferred to otherinstitutions.

Joint CMN programs and International Master Degrees.

The objective of this action is to encourage the convergence of teaching and researchin both CMN universities into joint programs and degrees that can be offered atinternational level, this way optimizing and enhancing both institutions’ resources andquality features. This objective subsumes the activities developed so far under theheading “Euro-Mediterranean Post-Grad School” and include a selection of Masterprograms taught in English and/or included in international catalogues.

Our initial Campus project already envisaged the need of setting up a distinct andhigh quality academic offer that would allow CMN to become more competitive andattractive, while meeting the needs of social and economic development in our region.Accordingly, this action brings into practice the project yearning for quality, for alliancebetween the CMN main actors and associated partners and for a reasonable exploitationof CMN strengths.

This initiative can be found under Actions 3, 4, 7 & 9 of our project proposal.

Two Master’s programs in the fields of business, local development and employmenthave been adapted to be jointly taught by both CMN universities. This is the first timeever that the two CMN universities develop joint post-grad programmes. In additionthree relevant Master’s in computer science, biology and reproduction and waterengineering management have been launched and taught for the first time lastacademic year in English. Other programs are being prepared within this initiative.French, as target language in the Mediterranean region, merited CMN attention inpromoting a joint Master’s program CMN-University of Lille (France), taught in Frenchfor the second year now. During the 2013-2014 academic year, an initiative will fosterjoint programs with Morocco taught in French. Last, 13 Master’s programmes areoffered to Italian students in the framework of the national Italian scholarship program(INPS) at Master’s level. In October 2013, CMN will host an Info Day in Rome, Italy,to attract students to our programs.

• 2 joint Master Degrees.• Internationalization of CMN Master programs.• 5 Master Degrees in English and French.

Joint CMN Lifelong Learning actions.

This action seeks to fuel the development of an array of CMN dissemination tools andthe shaping of an international Lifelong Learning academic offer. In the long run, ourstrategy aims at the support of overseas talented teachers, researchers and studentsfrom international universities -Mediterranean institutions being the priority- to makeuse and take part in these activities.

The joint offer of courses taught in English, in collaboration with international partneruniversities, research centres, town councils, hospitals and other stakeholders, as wellas the introduction of a strong innovation component in the academic offer we promotewill serve our attraction strategy by upgrading the quality of the offer through two keyfactors: language (English) and an internationalised team of teachers.

This initiative can be found under Actions 4, 8, 9 & 18 of our project proposal.

In the framework of the summer “Universidad Internacional del Mar”, 8 courses werejointly developed by the CMN universities, two of them fully taught in English byinternational teams of experts in the field from Israel or the US, among other countries.A call for applications had previously been published to award 10 international grantsthat would make it easier for interested overseas students to participate in thesecourses.

In 2013, the two CMN universities, together with other Mediterranean institutionsdecided to cooperate in the activity “Developing Innovative and Smart Strategies forEuro-Mediterranean International Lifelong-learning (DISSEMI-LL), which seeks todevelop ICT strategies that foster cooperation in academic and professional learningscenarios and the building up of new partnerships among countries North and Southof the Mediterranean around the idea of international lifelong learning as devised bya wide array of institutions (Universities; Aggregations of Universities, research centresand companies; Chambers of commerce) and implemented in different cultural settings(different regions in Europe and Northern African countries).

Research infrastructures.

The aim of this action is to enhance the research infrastructures of those excellencepoles in CMN.

An update of our research infrastructures is a must for CMN to achieve its goals interms of research impact and excellence. In our view, enhancing infrastructures entailsthinking outside the box and re-organizing how our researchers make use of theirresources. This is why CMN encouraged the setting-up of three new researchinfrastructures that are geared towards playing up the quality of our research, especiallyin our research poles: bioeconomy based on agro-food, quality of life and healthtechnologies, the Mediterranean Sea and naval technologies and the Euro-Mediterraneanarea of research and innovation.

This initiative can be found under Action 12 of our project proposal.

ELDI (SP Edificio de Laboratorios de Docencia e Investigación, Building Teaching andResearch Laboratories), based in Cartagena, hosts the main research labs of the UPCTand, in particular, a singular infrastructure devoted to research in hydrology. Besides,over 3k engineering students will develop their practice tuition in a totally new research-oriented environment.

VITALIS-PLEIADES in a set of 5 buildings devoted to research based in Murcia.PLEIADES is an interdisciplinary platform to develop experimental research in earthand life sciences (SP Plataforma de Experimentación Interdisciplinar en Ciencias dela Tierra y de la Vida). Three buildings are devoted to research equipment and labs,while one is devoted to resource-based learning and dissemination. In the near future,PLEIADES will be physically connected to VITALIS-CIAVyS, the pilot infrastructuredevoted to food and health technology (SP Pilot Plant Food Technology). Theseinfrastructures will be finished by the end of this year and will host the research activitiesof CMN researchers and the harvesting of new initiatives in league with CMN partners.By 2015, these infrastructures will be fully functional.

• ELDI, Pleiades, Ciabys-Vitalis infrastructures.

• UMU & UPCT own funding.• INNOCAMPUS program.• FEDER R+I funding.

Given the advanced state of the works of the VITALIS and PLEIADES facilities, to becompleted in December 2013-January 2014, the first half of 2014 will be devoted tofulfilling their equipment. Full operation is scheduled to take place in late 2014. Thiswill align the knowledge hub between the Murcia and the Polytechnic of Cartagena,

VITALISis also a joint project of a centre of excellence that is defined by the union of ELDI(Building Teaching and Research Laboratories), CIAVyS (Joint Institute for Plant andFood Research in Health together with CSIC), CADIA (the Veterinary Faculty Farmwith Development Center in Advanced Animal Research ) or FT-PP (Food TechnologyPilot Plant) in the PLEIADES environment (platform to develop experimental researchin earth and life sciences) within CONNECT strategy will enhance this area researcher.TheCMN INNOVATION centre of ideas will also be hosted in PLEIADES. Its aim is toseek synergy with the 2020 Horizon(http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/index_en.cfm) and to boost the SmartSpecialisation Strategies (RIS3) (http://s3platform.jrc.ec.europa.eu/home) as anapproach to economic development through targeted support to Research andInnovation (R&I). INNOVATION as the most important way to create jobs related to thefood-bioeconomy and sustainability. In cooperation with enterprises and entrepreneurs,the CMN INNOVATION centre of ideas will work on identifying competitive advantage,setting strategic priorities and making use of smart policies to maximise the knowledge-based development potential of the region, strong or weak, high-tech or low-tech.

The VITALIS centre of excellence will allow to boost the interweaving of agrofood andhealth related research in Campus Mare Nostrum by developing the following actions:

• Accelerating the consolidation of two existing poles of excellence in agrofood,health and wellbeing.

• Maximizing synergies between existing poles by pushing a food and health clusterto innovate in processes (sustainable production: crop and livestock production insemi-arid and water scarcity) and products (functional foods).

• Leading a Mediterranean platform that integrates the infrastructure and resourcesof the region related to functional foods and, specifically, to be competitive in offeringpreclinical and clinical trials in human and animal health related to food and health.

• Promoting a business cluster related to functional foods to support cooperation inR&D, providing advanced services, funding, and internationalization.

• Projecting the VITALIS brand internationally as an international leader in functionalfoods.

• Deepening the related thematic areas of specialization.

CMN clusters: REDES CMN.

To foster and structure our research potential into clusters and 4 specialized networks,namely, Economy based on agro-food, Quality of life and health technologies,Mediterranean Sea & naval technologies, and the Mediterranean Area of HigherEducation and Research.

By linking up the interests of the different research actors in CMN, we are not onlyfostering and enriching the already existing research groups, but also promoting thecreation of more synergies and interdisciplinary cooperation, with a greater internationalpotential, optimizing technological resources and facilitating the transfer of technologyto the productive fabric.

This initiative can be found under Action 11 of our project proposal.

In 2011-2012, CMN set up a Transfer and Valorisation Unit that surveyed the researchpotential of all CMN partners. Last year, CMN completed this database and as aresult 26 multidisciplinary research clusters (Nodes) were set up. The organizationof our research groups has allowed both international and regional meetings ofresearchers from different disciplines and from different institutional origin with atwofold objective: to identify synergies and complementarities and attune theirresearch achievements and future lines of development; to disseminate make morevisible their results and identify the corresponding transfer pools. So far our, the CMNTransfer and Valorisation Unit has organized two specialized meetings on Researchin the Mediterranean and one in health technologies and quality of life.

Euro-Mediterranean Transfer Triangles (EUMETTR) is the first international-scaleinitiative developed by the CMN Transfer and Valorisation Unit within the scope ofRedes CMN. Its overall objective is to contribute to the promotion of education/researchpolicies addressing the triangle education-research-innovation and enhancing thetransfer of results in Algeria, Egypt and Tunisia. The specific objectives are: a) to offer2 cases of good practices in each of the participant TC countries by developingnational and Euro-Mediterranean clusters (of universities, research centres, industries,chambers of commerce etc..) around two main topics (health sciences and marinesciences and technologies); b) to strengthen the institutional capacity of partnerinstitutions to transfer their results into the industry world by promoting partnershipsbetween companies and education/research institutions and by providing tailor madestaff training.

• 26 new research nodes identified.• Dedicated website launched: http://www.campusmarenostrum.es/redes/1• Dedicated mobile app designed and to lunch next academic year.• Two International meetings and workshops with representatives of Argelia, Egypt,

Young researchers.

The goal of this action is two-folded: firstly, it intends to provide Mediterraneanresearchers with a forum to present inspiring, work-in-progress research in all theareas of knowledge and science, including Art and Humanities, Legal and SocialSciences, Health Sciences, Life Sciences and Engineering; second, it pursues tocreate a public forum and network of Mediterranean young researchers associationsthat ignite debate and foster active participation of young researchers in theMediterranean.

One of the main CMN commitments is to the promotion of interdisciplinary researchnetworks revolving around global problems in the Mediterranean region. Consequently,this action will make it easier for young researchers to join efforts in identifying andfacing problems and challenges, in disseminating technological and research progressand results, making their work more visible and in exploiting financial sources andresources.

CMN was actively involved with EMUNI in the organization of RESOUK, the researchforum of the Mediterranean in 2011 and 2012. Given the discontinuity of this activityby EMUNI, Together with the Association of Young Researchers of the University ofMurcia and of Cartagena, CMN is organizing a new forum: MED-SOUK: I InternationalConference of Mediterranean Young Researchers, to take place in October 2013. Upto now, representatives of 6 Mediterranean associations and a large number of youngresearchers are expected to attend the conference, hold meetings, to take part inround-tables and conferences, to attend workshops on specific research problemsand to get feed-back from senior experts about their own research works.

This initiative can be found under Actions 4, 9 & 11 of our project proposal.

The objective of this action is to optimize the available resources and funds in eachCMN University and center, by sharing facilities and other services and by makingthem available to each other’s communities; to upgrade the quality of the servicesthat CMN institutions offer to students, teachers and researchers as well as toadministrative and management staff.

We could say that the need to join efforts to provide both universities with complementaryfacilities and services is a condition sine qua non rather than an objective for ourcampus. This action seeks to create a single community of goods out of distinctinstitutions that are similar in terms of needs and constraints.

This initiative can be found under Action 17 of our project proposal.

As of now, the CMN universities share common infrastructures and services via CMN(libraries, sports facilities, training actions, foreign language tuition, etc. ) and workpresently to increase the number of services provided to the members of theircommunities. Shortly, the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) will join this initiative.A new app will exploit CMN “Redes” (research networks) and contribute to thedissemination of CMN research efforts.

• MOU signed by both CMN universities.• Shared infrastructures: libraries, sports facilities, internet access, training actions,foreign language tuition, among others.• Recolector: a repository of research publications.http://recolector.campusmarenostrum.es/rcmn/#

• UMU & UPCT own funding.• Funding from the “Fortalecimiento” program, Ministerio de Educación, Cultura yDeportes.

Nowadays, the challenge is (1) to raise awareness on the advantages of the new“possibilities among students and staff of both universities and to overcome the dailydifficulties that may derive from a new experience like this and (2) to export this modelto other CMN partners until 2015.

CMN has taken different steps towards the transformation of our campus into a moresocially inclusive and accessible learning space at regional, national and internationallevel. Distance is one of the major obstacles we face to reach broader social groupsand to expand our scope of influence to neighbour regions and countries. This is why,the launch of a trans-border campus, accessible from remote areas, available fordisabled groups, able to avoid mobility, and therefore sustainable from the financialand social point of view, will definitely contribute to the general aim of the CMN project.In addition, the spotlight of training activities on shared needs and constraints for theMediterranean area, like water management, has been designed to increase thestudents’ employability in the area.

This initiative can be found under Actions 4, 5 & 7 of our project proposal.

The CMN Technical Office implemented an intensive liaising action during 2012 and2013, after which a kick-off meeting took place at the University of Murcia. The meetingobjective was to boost work in the trans-border campus by defining the roadmap thatwould lead the partners to eventually offer for the first time a joint master’s degree inwater management and the efficient use of water in semi-arid climates. Administrativeand academic obstacles have been clearly identified at each participant institutionand a plan of action has been developed to overcome potential academic problemsin the following months. Simultaneously, a joint summer course, in line with the LifelongLearning philosophy, will be offered for the first time in 2014 by the four Mediterraneaninstitutions, in order to weight the demand of training in this specific topic, to attractpotential students to the future joint Master’s and to furnish the academic staff witha first joint teaching experience.

• CMN has developed a strategy to address the potential loci of collaboration betweenCMN partners and Moroccan institutions that encompass our main four areas ofspecialization.• Work has already been undertaken in the area of Mediterranean cultural heritageand common actions in this area are expected to lead to the implementation of mutualrecognition between Master programs. This overall strategy is supported by convergentwork undertaken in NORIA and ERASMUS Mare Nostrum projects.• Partnership with the University Abdelmalek Essaâdi (Tetouan) and the University ofMarrakech and the CMN universities.• Working group on Master Degrees recognition.

• UMU & UPCT own funding.• Funding from the “Fortalecimiento” program, Ministerio de Educación, Cultura yDeportes.

The immediate challenge for CMN is to overcome the administrative barriers and thedivide in the nature of the programs that the two national laws may present.

CMN PROGRESS REPORT 2013

The CMN governance system has been implemented on both the strategic and the operational levels in orderto favour decision-making processes on the course of the Campus development as well as on the implementationof the proposed actions. To this purpose, two levels of government were established: Strategic, through theCMN Board and in collaboration with the participating entities, and Operational, for the development anddaily management of CMN and with a view to improving the project internal communication. As of June 30,the following actions had already been implemented:

Strategic level:

This level is composed of the members of the CMN General Council, including a representation of all associatedentities and the International Advisory Board. On 15 February 2011, the first meeting of the CMN GeneralCouncil was held at the University of Murcia. It was attended by representatives of the following organizations:

• University of Murcia• Polytechnic University of Cartagena• Ministry of Education• Ministry of Science and Innovation• Ministry of Universities, Business and Research (the Department of Health and the Department of Agriculturetook also part as promoters of the Campus excellence poles)• Croem (Regional Confederation of Employers of Murcia)• Murcia Chamber of Commerce• Cartagena Chamber of Commerce• Chamber of Commerce of Lorca• CC OO (National Union)• UGT (National Union)• National Research Council (CSIC)• Spanish Institute of Oceanography• EMUNI University (Mediterranean University)• Federation of Municipalities of the Region of Murcia• Innovation Foundation Spain 'I + E'• Foundation HEFAME• Hero Spain• Grupo Fuertes• Navantia• Naval and See Association• Banco Santander• CajaMurcia• CAM• Cajamar

During the meeting, a CMN master plan for 2011 and subsequent years was approved. The resulting documentis available on our website and it set performance priorities for the Campus.

The International Advisory Board consists of a group of international figures like Margarita Salas, Josep

Borrell, Julio Lage, Federico Mayor Zaragoza, or Jamil Salmi. More information on the composition of theInternational Advisory Council can be found on:

http://www.campusmarenostrum.es/consejo_asesor_internacional.html

The Cooperation Agreement between the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia and bothuniversities, the UPCT and the UM, for the development and financing of the Campus of InternationalExcellence “Mare Nostrum 37/38”, with a European Regional basis, establishes that a Monitoring Committeewill be established to follow up the Agreement; the Monitoring Committee consisting of three representativesof the Autonomous Community, appointed by the Counselor of Universities, Business and Research, andthree representatives from the University of Murcia and the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, appointedby agreement of both Rectors. The monitoring Committee will meet as often as requested by each of theparties and it will monitor and supervise the activities carried out and the implementation schedule. Withinthe legally established framework, the Committee can also solve the doubts and disputes arising in applyingand interpreting the Agreement, also setting suitable criteria to regulate those aspects that are not fullydeveloped therein.

In addition, the Committee has the following specific functions:

• Be informed about variations to operations established in Annex I of the Agreement and any other questionsthat could be submitted for consideration.

• To annually monitor the actions and activities in order to assess the extent to which they were implemented.

• To approve the annual memory on the implementation of the Agreement and report on the final JustifyingMemory thereof, to be submitted by the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia to the Ministry ofEducation.

• Monitoring of the Project "Mare Nostrum 37/38" Communication and Dissemination Plan.

• Be informed of applications for other non-repayable grants or subsidies that the CMN universities requestfor the project during the duration of this Agreement.

• Inform on the universities’ applications for other grants or subsidies through re-payable loans for the projectduring the duration of this Agreement whenever these applications must be guaranteed or endorsed by theAutonomous Community of the Region of Murcia.

Operational Level:

The daily management of CMN lies on the Coordination Office, based in the Polytechnic University ofCartagena and the University of Murcia. The Rectors of both universities delegate the management andcoordination tasks to management units of different nature: to the Vice-rectorate of Research andInternationalization, in the case of the University of Murcia, and to the Deputy Rector for the CIE, in the caseof the UPCT. The CMN General Coordinator is responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the project

and, in particular, he coordinates the efforts of both universities and their relationship with partners.

Currently, the CMN Office at the University of Murcia counts on 3 officers covering the areas of internationalization,management and research and communication, respectively. We also have the support of a budget managementofficer. The office is located in Campus Espinardo, Edf. Rector Soler, Murcia. The CMN Office at the UPCTconsists of one officer for internationalization and another one for the management of research. Theheadquarters are in the Rectorate Building of the UPCT in Cartagena.
