The Institute for BioEconomy (IBE)
Established on June 1, 2019, through the merger of excellence between the Institute of Biometeorology (IBIMET) and the Institute for the Valorisation of Wood and Tree Species (IVALSA), IBE now represents a unique interdisciplinary hub.
We have combined decades of complementary expertise to lead the strategic sector of the bioeconomy, addressing the challenges of global sustainability with a solid scientific foundation.

Green Chemistry and Biotechnology
Renewable Resources
Resilience, Climate, and the Future
In this historic moment of profound change, an effective bioeconomy cannot disregard the knowledge of the factors that regulate anthropized systems. For this reason, meteorology, climatology, and oceanography constitute an integral part of our Institute’s DNA.
Our strategies focus on four fundamental pillars:
