CIMNE has successfully approved its new strategic plan, outlining the roadmap for its future endeavours. It has been developed over the months September to December 2022 with inputs from CIMNE staff, key stakeholders from UPC and GENCAT and scientific input from the Science Advisory Council of CIMNE. It is intended to guide the development of the centre for the next decade and facilitate the generational transition in leadership and key staff in the centre. The plan, carefully crafted after months of intense planning and consultation, sets the stage for an impactful future for CIMNE.

CIMNE aims to strengthen its international position as the world leading centre in the development of computer modelling technologies applied to important engineering problems that respond to societal challenges and UN sustainable development goals.
The strategy to achieve this over the next 5 years comprises four key elements:
- Developing a research strategy and structure fit for the next phase of CIMNE.
- Enhancing relationships with our patrons and international partners.
- Attracting, retaining and developing the best international researchers, innovators and professional support staff.
- Ensuring that our research has maximum impact in society through the establishment of technology transfer pathways, a culture of innovation and facilitating the creation of spin-off companies when appropriate.
The approval of this new strategic plan marks a significant milestone for CIMNE.
