1. Project Summary
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 of
improvement within a global context in pursuit of excellence. The aim of CMN is to promote complementary
resources in terms of teaching, research and campus organization in order to strengthen the relevance of
our universities, not only in our immediate geographical area, the Region of Murcia, but, in the long run, in
the Mediterranean basin.
Stemming from Estrategia Universidad 2015, the Campus of International Excellence Programme (CEI) of
the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport is the institutional framework upon which CMN is
founded. The objectives of the CEI programme have far-reaching implications for our university system in
different ways: the programme sets out (1) to better prepare Spanish universities academically and thus
make them more competitive; (2) to attain greater scientific impact, which will strengthen our position on the
international stage; and (3) obtain higher levels of efficiency in terms of management. All of these aims should
ultimately lead to an international position from which universities can address the important mission they
are 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 continuously
improving the university system in Spain. These objectives have begun to take shape in three specific action
areas resulting from the work carried out by CMN:
1. improvements in teaching and EHEA adaptation,
2. improvement of science and knowledge transfer, and
3. campus transformation for the development of a comprehensive social model and its interaction with the
territorial environment.
In October 2010, CMN obtained the CEI rating at a regional level. During 2011, 2012 and 2013, CMN has
undertaken significant work in the fields of improvement in teaching and adaptation to the European Higher
Education Area (EHEA), the improvement of science and knowledge transfer, and campus transformation for
the 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 Spanish
central government to the regional government in the form of a refundable loan to the University of Murcia
for the development of the CMN project. Six months later, on 23 January 2012, the Collaboration Agreement
between the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia and CMN was published. This order regulated
the transfer of the funds from the regional government to the University of Murcia as coordinating institution
in 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 results
achieved to date:
CMN approved a road map during its Executive Committee meeting on 15 February 2011 to carry out the
activities of this Campus of Excellence. This master plan set out different action areas, namely, campus
governance, project preparation, programmes and plans of action, teaching excellence, scientific excellence
and innovation, and lastly campus life and society.

Project Summary
The 2012 CMN progress report was well received by the International Committee, although some areas of
further development were highlighted. Despite the budget-cuts scenario, which is pervasive both in the
national and the regional administrations in our country, by December 2012, the Executive Committee had
already defined a road map to meet the demands of the Committee; by January 2013 the Rectors, the Vice
Rectors and representatives of the CMN institutions, had all agreed on the way to move along and implement
the 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 institutions
to develop joint training actions. This has made it possible to launch CMN Master Degrees, CMN Lifelong
Learning (LL) Initiatives, as well as developing a stable, core consortium of Mediterranean partners, South
and 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 UPCT
were launched, which shows that the effort to develop joint programs within the otherwise rigid official
academic regulations in Spain is more than just another item in our to-do list. Other programs are being
developed presently, and a new initiative presented before the end of the second term of 2012-2013 will
encourage Master programs in UMU and UPCT to enhance cooperation and “mutual recognition”. This
initiative is expected to expand to other programs both in Spain and beyond. This action is tightly linked with
the third edition of the CMN initiative to promote taught programs in English. At the moment, three
undergraduate 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 institutions
and other CMN research centres, such as the “Hospital La Arrixaica”, the Regional Government or, among
others, the Spanish Oceanographic Institute. Our LL strategy is driven by two key factors: cooperation with
others and internationalization. International initiatives such as the International course on Stem Cells; the
6
7. CMN PROGRESS REPORT 2013
Project Summary
International Course on Art therapy, in cooperation with Haifa University, and, among many others, Agro-food
Mediterranean Know How initiatives in cooperation with “Casa Mediterráneo”, are bringing in a new
Mediterranean and international dimension to our activities. A good example is Noria: Strengthening
Innovation 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 technology
transfer in the water technology sector by mobilizing their potential as key players in the Moroccan innovation
system. In cooperation with other stakeholders in the Mediterranean, namely, Salento (IT), Patras (GR), this
initiative 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 Commerce
D’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 Chamber
of Commerce of Mostaganem, built up a partnership to carry out a project called “Developing Innovative
and Smart Strategies for Euro-Mediterranean International Lifelong-learning (DISSEMI-LL). This initiative sets
out to devise and implement training and ICT strategies that foster the linking up of actors in a selection of
learning scenarios and the building up of new partnerships among countries North and South of the
Mediterranean around the idea of international lifelong learning as devised by different institutions (Universities;
Aggregations of Universities, research centres and companies; Chambers of commerce) and implemented
in 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 mobility
and cooperation with countries in the Mediterranean, especially those on the south basin. Our partners have
the chance to upgrade their human resources in technological and industrial common fields of interest for
both Mediterranean shores - Mediterranean naval & maritime technology, the agro-food sector and the field
of economics and business. The promotion of joint degrees is accomplished by a mobility scheme that is
expected to favour the recognition of overseas studies, while allowing a complete training of students at
postgraduate level in fields not offered by their home institutions. The program allows the most talented
researchers to benefit from a mobility period supported by European scholarships. So far, two cohorts of
students and staff have taken part in the program, with 164 mobility grants.

8. CMN PROGRESS REPORT 2013
Project Summary
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 gaining
visibility 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 our
research 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 chance
to publish online their own information both in Spanish and English, and, at the same time, address a more
international audience. Organized by our Transfer and Valorisation Unit, our CMN day hosted a workshop
that gathered the researchers of the CMN network on Health and Quality of Life and other relevant scientists
in the field, like a representative of Cairo University, the former Tunisian Ministry of Health, the University
Health Center Hadassah-Hebrew (Jerusalem), and a representative of the European 7th Framework Programme
for research. This is one of our tools for our Transfer Unit to develop initiatives of dissemination and networking
across the Mediterranean.
The other tools are Euro-Mediterranean Transfer Triangles (EUMETTR) and, in the field of water management
research, LOWATREAT, a public-private partnerships development and knowledge transfer on water treatment
in rural areas from Maghreb partner countries.
As far as talent is concerned, during 2012 and 2013 CMN has attracted 10 top-notch international
researchers 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 and
beyond. These researchers come from the UK (4), Germany (2), Canada, Taiwan, France and Italy. As regards
young 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 young
researchers and the creation of stronger links: MEDSOUK. Taking up from previous work with EMUNI in this
area, CMN expects to make an important contribution to boost collaboration for young Mediterranean
researchers.
Campus transformation for the development of a comprehensive social model and its interaction with
the territorial environment:
During 2013 CMN has made important breakthrough in this area. The Trans-Border Campus with Moroccan
universities is already being developed and 2014 will witness the first joint actions. UMU and UPCT are
sharing infrastructures and our campuses are now greener and more environmentally friendly. Together
with 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 other
institutions.

2. Results, Indexes and Challenges
In what follows, we will offer a selection of activities developed in CMN. This is a showcase of some of our
efforts to develop joint initiatives that impact the development of our project.
Area
2.1. Improvements in teaching and EHEA
.1
Action
Joint CMN programs and International Master Degrees.
Objective
The objective of this action is to encourage the convergence of teaching and research
in both CMN universities into joint programs and degrees that can be offered at
international level, this way optimizing and enhancing both institutions’ resources and
quality features. This objective subsumes the activities developed so far under the
heading “Euro-Mediterranean Post-Grad School” and include a selection of Master
programs taught in English and/or included in international catalogues.
Contribution towards
general aim of the
Campus project
Our initial Campus project already envisaged the need of setting up a distinct and
high quality academic offer that would allow CMN to become more competitive and
attractive, while meeting the needs of social and economic development in our region.
Accordingly, this action brings into practice the project yearning for quality, for alliance
between the CMN main actors and associated partners and for a reasonable exploitation
of CMN strengths.
This initiative can be found under Actions 3, 4, 7 & 9 of our project proposal.
Work undertaken
Results
Two Master’s programs in the fields of business, local development and employment
have been adapted to be jointly taught by both CMN universities. This is the first time
ever that the two CMN universities develop joint post-grad programmes. In addition
three relevant Master’s in computer science, biology and reproduction and water
engineering management have been launched and taught for the first time last
academic year in English. Other programs are being prepared within this initiative.
French, as target language in the Mediterranean region, merited CMN attention in
promoting a joint Master’s program CMN-University of Lille (France), taught in French
for the second year now. During the 2013-2014 academic year, an initiative will foster
joint programs with Morocco taught in French. Last, 13 Master’s programmes are
offered 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.

Action
Joint CMN Lifelong Learning actions.
Objective
This action seeks to fuel the development of an array of CMN dissemination tools and
the shaping of an international Lifelong Learning academic offer. In the long run, our
strategy aims at the support of overseas talented teachers, researchers and students
from international universities -Mediterranean institutions being the priority- to make
use and take part in these activities.
Contribution towards
general aim of the
Campus project
The joint offer of courses taught in English, in collaboration with international partner
universities, research centres, town councils, hospitals and other stakeholders, as well
as the introduction of a strong innovation component in the academic offer we promote
will serve our attraction strategy by upgrading the quality of the offer through two key
factors: language (English) and an internationalised team of teachers.
This initiative can be found under Actions 4, 8, 9 & 18 of our project proposal.
Work undertaken
In the framework of the summer “Universidad Internacional del Mar”, 8 courses were
jointly developed by the CMN universities, two of them fully taught in English by
international 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 grants
that would make it easier for interested overseas students to participate in these
courses.
In 2013, the two CMN universities, together with other Mediterranean institutions
decided to cooperate in the activity “Developing Innovative and Smart Strategies for
Euro-Mediterranean International Lifelong-learning (DISSEMI-LL), which seeks to
develop ICT strategies that foster cooperation in academic and professional learning
scenarios and the building up of new partnerships among countries North and South
of the Mediterranean around the idea of international lifelong learning as devised by
a wide array of institutions (Universities; Aggregations of Universities, research centres
and companies; Chambers of commerce) and implemented in different cultural settings
(different regions in Europe and Northern African countries).

Action
Research infrastructures.
Objective
The aim of this action is to enhance the research infrastructures of those excellence
poles in CMN.
Contribution towards
general aim of the
Campus project
An update of our research infrastructures is a must for CMN to achieve its goals in
terms of research impact and excellence. In our view, enhancing infrastructures entails
thinking outside the box and re-organizing how our researchers make use of their
resources. This is why CMN encouraged the setting-up of three new research
infrastructures that are geared towards playing up the quality of our research, especially
in our research poles: bioeconomy based on agro-food, quality of life and health
technologies, the Mediterranean Sea and naval technologies and the Euro-Mediterranean
area of research and innovation.
This initiative can be found under Action 12 of our project proposal.
Work undertaken
ELDI (SP Edificio de Laboratorios de Docencia e Investigación, Building Teaching and
Research Laboratories), based in Cartagena, hosts the main research labs of the UPCT
and, in particular, a singular infrastructure devoted to research in hydrology. Besides,
over 3k engineering students will develop their practice tuition in a totally new researchoriented 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 earth
and life sciences (SP Plataforma de Experimentación Interdisciplinar en Ciencias de
la 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 infrastructure
devoted to food and health technology (SP Pilot Plant Food Technology). These
infrastructures will be finished by the end of this year and will host the research activities
of CMN researchers and the harvesting of new initiatives in league with CMN partners.
By 2015, these infrastructures will be fully functional.
Results
• ELDI, Pleiades, Ciabys-Vitalis infrastructures.
Resources
• UMU & UPCT own funding.
• INNOCAMPUS program.
• FEDER R+I funding.
Challenges ahead
Given the advanced state of the works of the VITALIS and PLEIADES facilities, to be
completed in December 2013-January 2014, the first half of 2014 will be devoted to
fulfilling their equipment. Full operation is scheduled to take place in late 2014. This
will align the knowledge hub between the Murcia and the Polytechnic of Cartagena,

CMN INNOVATION centre of ideas will also be hosted in PLEIADES. Its aim is to
seek synergy with the 2020 Horizon
(http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/index_en.cfm) and to boost the Smart
Specialisation Strategies (RIS3) (http://s3platform.jrc.ec.europa.eu/home) as an
approach to economic development through targeted support to Research and
Innovation (R&I). INNOVATION as the most important way to create jobs related to the
food-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 knowledgebased 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 and
health 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 cluster
to innovate in processes (sustainable production: crop and livestock production in
semi-arid and water scarcity) and products (functional foods).
• Leading a Mediterranean platform that integrates the infrastructure and resources
of the region related to functional foods and, specifically, to be competitive in offering
preclinical and clinical trials in human and animal health related to food and health.
• Promoting a business cluster related to functional foods to support cooperation in
R&D, providing advanced services, funding, and internationalization.
• Projecting the VITALIS brand internationally as an international leader in functional
foods.
• Deepening the related thematic areas of specialization.

Action
CMN clusters: REDES CMN.
Objective
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 Higher
Education and Research.
Contribution towards
general aim of the
Campus project
By linking up the interests of the different research actors in CMN, we are not only
fostering and enriching the already existing research groups, but also promoting the
creation of more synergies and interdisciplinary cooperation, with a greater international
potential, optimizing technological resources and facilitating the transfer of technology
to the productive fabric.
This initiative can be found under Action 11 of our project proposal.
Work undertaken
In 2011-2012, CMN set up a Transfer and Valorisation Unit that surveyed the research
potential of all CMN partners. Last year, CMN completed this database and as a
result 26 multidisciplinary research clusters (Nodes) were set up. The organization
of our research groups has allowed both international and regional meetings of
researchers from different disciplines and from different institutional origin with a
twofold objective: to identify synergies and complementarities and attune their
research achievements and future lines of development; to disseminate make more
visible their results and identify the corresponding transfer pools. So far our, the CMN
Transfer and Valorisation Unit has organized two specialized meetings on Research
in the Mediterranean and one in health technologies and quality of life.
Euro-Mediterranean Transfer Triangles (EUMETTR) is the first international-scale
initiative developed by the CMN Transfer and Valorisation Unit within the scope of
Redes CMN. Its overall objective is to contribute to the promotion of education/research
policies addressing the triangle education-research-innovation and enhancing the
transfer of results in Algeria, Egypt and Tunisia. The specific objectives are: a) to offer
2 cases of good practices in each of the participant TC countries by developing
national and Euro-Mediterranean clusters (of universities, research centres, industries,
chambers of commerce etc..) around two main topics (health sciences and marine
sciences and technologies); b) to strengthen the institutional capacity of partner
institutions to transfer their results into the industry world by promoting partnerships
between companies and education/research institutions and by providing tailor made
staff training.

Action
Young researchers.
Objective
The goal of this action is two-folded: firstly, it intends to provide Mediterranean
researchers with a forum to present inspiring, work-in-progress research in all the
areas of knowledge and science, including Art and Humanities, Legal and Social
Sciences, Health Sciences, Life Sciences and Engineering; second, it pursues to
create a public forum and network of Mediterranean young researchers associations
that ignite debate and foster active participation of young researchers in the
Mediterranean.
Contribution towards
general aim of the
Campus project
One of the main CMN commitments is to the promotion of interdisciplinary research
networks revolving around global problems in the Mediterranean region. Consequently,
this action will make it easier for young researchers to join efforts in identifying and
facing problems and challenges, in disseminating technological and research progress
and results, making their work more visible and in exploiting financial sources and
resources.
Work undertaken
CMN was actively involved with EMUNI in the organization of RESOUK, the research
forum of the Mediterranean in 2011 and 2012. Given the discontinuity of this activity
by EMUNI, Together with the Association of Young Researchers of the University of
Murcia and of Cartagena, CMN is organizing a new forum: MED-SOUK: I International
Conference of Mediterranean Young Researchers, to take place in October 2013. Up
to now, representatives of 6 Mediterranean associations and a large number of young
researchers are expected to attend the conference, hold meetings, to take part in
round-tables and conferences, to attend workshops on specific research problems
and 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.

2.3. Campus transformation
.1
Action
Sharing CMN infrastructures.
Objective
The objective of this action is to optimize the available resources and funds in each
CMN University and center, by sharing facilities and other services and by making
them available to each other’s communities; to upgrade the quality of the services
that CMN institutions offer to students, teachers and researchers as well as to
administrative and management staff.
Contribution towards
general aim of the
Campus project
We could say that the need to join efforts to provide both universities with complementary
facilities and services is a condition sine qua non rather than an objective for our
campus. This action seeks to create a single community of goods out of distinct
institutions that are similar in terms of needs and constraints.
This initiative can be found under Action 17 of our project proposal.

Results, Indexes and Challenges
.1
Work undertaken
As of now, the CMN universities share common infrastructures and services via CMN
(libraries, sports facilities, training actions, foreign language tuition, etc. ) and work
presently to increase the number of services provided to the members of their
communities. Shortly, the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) will join this initiative.
A new app will exploit CMN “Redes” (research networks) and contribute to the
dissemination of CMN research efforts.
Results
• 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.

Resources
Challenges ahead
• UMU & UPCT own funding.
• Funding from the “Fortalecimiento” program, Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y
Deportes.
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 daily
difficulties that may derive from a new experience like this and (2) to export this model
to other CMN partners until 2015.

Action
Trans-border Campus CMN-Morocco.
Objective
The goal of this action is to build up a trans-border campus with Higher Education
Institutions in Morocco and other relevant stakeholders where CMN universities and
their partners can join together to offer, for the first time during the academic year
2014-15, joint training and education actions.

Contribution towards
general aim of the
Campus project
CMN has taken different steps towards the transformation of our campus into a more
socially inclusive and accessible learning space at regional, national and international
level. Distance is one of the major obstacles we face to reach broader social groups
and 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 for
disabled groups, able to avoid mobility, and therefore sustainable from the financial
and 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 the
Mediterranean area, like water management, has been designed to increase the
students’ employability in the area.
This initiative can be found under Actions 4, 5 & 7 of our project proposal.
Work undertaken
The CMN Technical Office implemented an intensive liaising action during 2012 and
2013, after which a kick-off meeting took place at the University of Murcia. The meeting
objective was to boost work in the trans-border campus by defining the roadmap that
would lead the partners to eventually offer for the first time a joint master’s degree in
water management and the efficient use of water in semi-arid climates. Administrative
and academic obstacles have been clearly identified at each participant institution
and a plan of action has been developed to overcome potential academic problems
in the following months. Simultaneously, a joint summer course, in line with the Lifelong
Learning philosophy, will be offered for the first time in 2014 by the four Mediterranean
institutions, in order to weight the demand of training in this specific topic, to attract
potential students to the future joint Master’s and to furnish the academic staff with
a first joint teaching experience.
Results
• CMN has developed a strategy to address the potential loci of collaboration between
CMN partners and Moroccan institutions that encompass our main four areas of
specialization.
• Work has already been undertaken in the area of Mediterranean cultural heritage
and common actions in this area are expected to lead to the implementation of mutual
recognition between Master programs. This overall strategy is supported by convergent
work undertaken in NORIA and ERASMUS Mare Nostrum projects.
• Partnership with the University Abdelmalek Essaâdi (Tetouan) and the University of
Marrakech and the CMN universities.
• Working group on Master Degrees recognition.
Resources
• UMU & UPCT own funding.
• Funding from the “Fortalecimiento” program, Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y
Deportes.
Challenges ahead
The immediate challenge for CMN is to overcome the administrative barriers and the
divide in the nature of the programs that the two national laws may present.

3. CMN Governance
The CMN governance system has been implemented on both the strategic and the operational levels in order
to favour decision-making processes on the course of the Campus development as well as on the implementation
of the proposed actions. To this purpose, two levels of government were established: Strategic, through the
CMN Board and in collaboration with the participating entities, and Operational, for the development and
daily 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 associated
entities and the International Advisory Board. On 15 February 2011, the first meeting of the CMN General
Council 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 Agriculture
took 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 document
is 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

The Cooperation Agreement between the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia and both
universities, the UPCT and the UM, for the development and financing of the Campus of International
Excellence “Mare Nostrum 37/38”, with a European Regional basis, establishes that a Monitoring Committee
will be established to follow up the Agreement; the Monitoring Committee consisting of three representatives
of the Autonomous Community, appointed by the Counselor of Universities, Business and Research, and
three representatives from the University of Murcia and the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, appointed
by agreement of both Rectors. The monitoring Committee will meet as often as requested by each of the
parties and it will monitor and supervise the activities carried out and the implementation schedule. Within
the legally established framework, the Committee can also solve the doubts and disputes arising in applying
and interpreting the Agreement, also setting suitable criteria to regulate those aspects that are not fully
developed 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 questions
that 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 Justifying
Memory thereof, to be submitted by the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia to the Ministry of
Education.
• 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 request
for the project during the duration of this Agreement.
• Inform on the universities’ applications for other grants or subsidies through re-payable loans for the project
during the duration of this Agreement whenever these applications must be guaranteed or endorsed by the
Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia.
Operational Level:
The daily management of CMN lies on the Coordination Office, based in the Polytechnic University of
Cartagena and the University of Murcia. The Rectors of both universities delegate the management and
coordination tasks to management units of different nature: to the Vice-rectorate of Research and
Internationalization, in the case of the University of Murcia, and to the Deputy Rector for the CIE, in the case
of the UPCT. The CMN General Coordinator is responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the project
21
22. CMN PROGRESS REPORT 2013
CMN Governance
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 management
officer. The office is located in Campus Espinardo, Edf. Rector Soler, Murcia. The CMN Office at the UPCT
consists of one officer for internationalization and another one for the management of research. The
headquarters are in the Rectorate Building of the UPCT in Cartagena.
