DEGESCO is made up of 21 fully-fledged centers and CIBERNED (The Network Center for Biomedical Research in Neurodegenerative Diseases). These centers are:
Each center has the power to leave the consortium at any time without the need for any justification. In the same way, all signatories can add, replace or remove researchers linked to DEGESCO from their own group at any time. Membership also does not imply any need to participate in all initiatives and proposals.
In order to achieve the general objectives of DEGESCO, members can freely participate in the design and execution of any initiative. Moreover, they can freely choose to participate or not in the proposed experiments and the analysis of the results obtained.
DEGESCO is an initiative open to the incorporation of new centers. Any public or private entity with accredited scientific capacity from the Spanish state can apply to join this initiative. To do this, the applicant groups must submit their request to the Executive Committee of DEGESCO. Once the proposal has been reviewed, the Executive Committee will propose the new incorporation to all the members. The proposal to incorporate any center must be approved by a simple majority (51%) of the members of the consortium.
Those centers or groups interested in joining the DEGESCO consortium may apply using the following form:
