PROYECTOS DE INVESTIGACIÓN CONVOCATORIAS PÚBLICAS
Sorprendernos por algo es el primer paso de la mente hacia el descubrimiento” (Louis Pasteur)
Al hacer un poco de historia sobre el devenir científico de España nos topamos con una gran discontinuidad: etapas de esplendor que conviven con otras de crisis. La gran etapa científica en España se produce a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX cuya culminación es la concesión del Premio Nobel a Santiago Ramón y Cajal en 1906. Confío en que recordemos nuestra historia y seamos conscientes del futuro que nos espera si no lo hacemos.
La doble tarea docente e investigadora y su transferencia de conocimiento siguen siendo las misiones que fundamentan la universidad moderna y la mayor repercusión directa a la que aspira la reforma de Bolonia. El reconocimiento del valor de la Universidad va unido tanto a la docencia cómo a la investigación.
Hasta la fecha, los integrantes del grupo de investigación han participado en más de 100 proyectos y contratos de investigación públicos y privados y dirigiendo la mayoría de ellos.
Algunos de los proyectos de investigación competitivos concedidos en convocatorias públicas recientes, y en los que los miembros del equipo de investigación actúan como investigadores principales o como investigadores participantes, son los siguientes:

Colaboración con empresas
La colaboración entre las empresas y las Instituciones Públicas permite a ambas fortalecerse, desarrollar su responsabilidad social, innovar e intercambiar conocimientos significativos tanto para la gestión de las organizaciones como para la actividad que unas y otras llevan a cabo.
En este sentido, desde hace años colaboramos con empresas desarrollando proyectos de investigación cuya finalidad es dar respuesta a problemas industriales, optimizar los procesos, crear nuevos productos o mejorar los ya existentes. Por motivos de confidencialidad, no podemos citar a los nombres de las empresas con las que colaboramos pero sí apuntar que hemos trabajado con más de 25 empresas diferentes pertenecientes a diversos ámbitos cómo son: alimentación, cosmética, análisis, enología, bioagricultura, reciclaje, remediación, producción de abonos, producción de material editorial, desarrollo de biofertilizantes, etc. y que la colaboración con estas empresas, ha fructificado en más de 50 proyectos de investigación y transferencia.
