Abstract

The aim of this work is to describe the participation of Spanish institutions in the 6th Framework Programme’s thematic area on health. It presents a structural analysis of the collaboration network among the different organizations that participate in these projects, as well as a description of the degree of participation and of the results obtained, on a regional, sectorial, and individual basis. The results show that Spanish participation lies primarily with the governmental sector, especially on a national level, with the principal involvement concentrated in CSIC, CNIO, hospitals, and universities. The article concludes that Spain is on the periphery of the health-related thematic area, with participation largely undertaken by CSIC.
