For the collection of information, a survey was designed with 51 items, whose content was validated by the working group. The instrument was stored in Google Drive and its dissemination through virtual media. A response was obtained from 277 people, representatives from 16 countries of Ibero-America in which it was found that there is interest and potential within the group of the IBIMEFA Network, to carry out studies with the research focus applied to the territory, although time difficulties must be overcome and funding to achieve it, as well as finding strategies that allow cooperative work to consolidate the Network.
