CEAM
- What is it
- The Mediterranean Center for Environmental Studies – CEAM was constituted in 1991 with the purpose of covering the deficit of knowledge and procedures on Mediterranean issues.
The main objective of the CEAM is to obtain data and achieve results on specific problems of the natural environment in the Mediterranean, improving the management capacity of Spain, and of the Valencian Community, within the framework of the European Union. Likewise, to achieve the necessary credibility, it is the responsibility of the CEAM that these results and their scientific interpretation are verified through international scientific evaluation /dd>
- Mission
-
CEAM’s activities range from basic research, into finding solutions for priority environmental problems, to the development of new technologies and applications, which are set up as pilot projects where the advances made on the management scale are demonstrated. Basically, therefore, these activities are of the essentially pre-competitive R&D kind.
R&D activity also leads to scientific counselling tasks in the themes that CEAM’s competences cover, and it specifically contributes to environmental management policymaking at various levels, from the local level to that of the European Union.
To deal with these challenges, the CEAM was drafted as a multidisciplinary center, that focuses its actions on complementary thematic areas with a recognized international experience.
The activity is articulated through research projects, encompassed in four research programs: air pollution, effects of pollutants, forestry research, meteorology and climatology.
