ICSCYL - Instituto de Ciencias de la Salud de Castilla y León

What ICSCYL - Instituto de Ciencias de la Salud de Castilla y León does

ICSCYL — formally Fundación Instituto de Estudios de Ciencias de la Salud de Castilla y León (CIF G42152405), registered in the Registro de Fundaciones de Castilla y León as foundation 42.0040.CL — is a non-profit foundation headquartered in Soria, Spain, established in 1998 (with operational continuity referenced from 2001) to support research, continuing medical education, and clinical trial management across the publicly-owned SACYL health network of the Junta de Castilla y León. The foundation serves 11 or more public hospital complexes and three biosanitary research institutes located in Burgos, León, and Valladolid, functioning as a regional coordinator for multi-center clinical research and accredited clinician training within a single autonomous community.

Its core deliverables fall into three lines: (i) clinical trial management services executed on behalf of SACYL hospitals (evidenced by engagements such as that with Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid); (ii) continuing education delivered through the XOOPS-based Aulas Virtuales ICSCYL platform, the Moodle-based Campus RCP+DEA, and the DEA-CYL mobile application for first-responder training; and (iii) recurring national and regional events including the Diplomado en Salud Pública, the VIII Jornadas de Actualización en Gripe, the IX Congreso Nacional del Consejo Español de RCP, and the I Concurso de Casos Clínicos para Residentes. The foundation also participates in EU-funded initiatives (RELECOV 2.0, Silver Jobs, Brains4Europe, MIGRAINEE) and longitudinal studies such as Proyecto Cohorte IMPACT.

The business model is that of a non-profit foundation rather than a commercial vendor. Revenue is generated through IVA-inclusive one-time fees for training courses and through professional-service fees for clinical trial management executed within SACYL; there are no disclosed external investors, equity instruments, or M&A activity. Customer acquisition is entirely institutional, routed through the SACYL public-health channel rather than direct sales, which makes the foundation's revenue highly correlated with regional public health budgets. Compliance posture includes GDPR alignment, Spanish whistleblower-law adherence, and accessibility certification for digital properties.
