ARVO-Spain

 
Background

ARVO-Spain was established in August 2020, as a sub-group of ophthalmic and vision researchers of the Oftared-SIREV.

Oftared-SIREV was formed from the fusion of two organizations focused in research in visual sciences. Oftared is a thematic network of clinical and pre-clinical sites belonging to the Spanish National Government (National Institute of Health) with the purpose to stimulate the translation of applied research to the national health system and SIREV is a non-governmental organization oriented towards basic and applied research in ophthalmology and visual sciences. 

Mission
