The Institute for BioEconomy (IBE)<\/h1>\n

Established on June 1, 2019<\/strong>, through the merger of excellence between the Institute of Biometeorology (IBIMET<\/strong>) and the Institute for the Valorisation of Wood and Tree Species (IVALSA<\/strong>), IBE now represents a unique interdisciplinary hub.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Resilience, Climate, and the Future<\/h2>\n

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<\/strong> constitute an integral part of our Institute’s DNA.<\/p>\n

Our strategies focus on four fundamental pillars:<\/p>\n
