ICTA - Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals

El Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnología Ambientales de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB) es un centro multidisciplinar que promueve la investigación académica y los estudios de posgrado en ciencias ambientales. Su objetivo es mejorar la comprensión del cambio ambiental global y la naturaleza y las causas de los problemas ambientales. Estudia las políticas, estrategias y tecnologías para favorecer la transición a un modelo social y económico sostenible.

El ICTA-UAB aborda los principales retos ambientales y de sostenibilidad relacionados con el cambio global y climático antropogénico. Los investigadores del ICTA-UAB desarrollan investigación avanzada en áreas específicas de la ciencia ambiental a partir de tres áreas generales: “Ciencias de la Tierra y la Vida”, “Ciencias Sociales y Ambientales” y “Tecnología, medio ambiente y sociedad”.

Unidad de Excelencia María de Maeztu El ICTA-UAB es el único centro de investigación en ciencias ambientales distinguido como Unidad de Excelencia por el Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MINECO) del Gobierno de España, el más destacado reconocimiento en investigación científica en España.
