Cross-cutting Technological Innovation
A shared strategy that connects all IIM-CSIC research areas through shared tools and interoperable platforms.
Connecting research, technology and knowledge
IIM-CSIC promotes a shared technological innovation strategy that connects all its research areas through shared tools and interoperable platforms. This technological cross-cutting approach is supported by five fundamental pillars that structure the center’s scientific and technical capacity.
The five pillars
Advanced omics and biological technologies
State-of-the-art molecular tools for the integrated study of the biodiversity, physiology and health of marine organisms.
Sensors and digitalization of the marine environment
Observation platforms, sensors and data acquisition systems that make it possible to characterize the ocean across multiple spatial and temporal scales.
Data Science, AI and Modeling
Advanced analysis of large data volumes, artificial intelligence and predictive modeling applied to the study and management of the marine environment.
Bioprocesses and Blue Engineering
Design and scaling of biotechnological processes and engineering applied to the sustainable valorization of marine resources and by-products.
Open Platforms and Reproducible Science (FAIR)
Digital infrastructures and protocols that ensure research data and results are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable, following the FAIR principles of open science.
These capabilities facilitate the integration of research, knowledge transfer and the development of innovative solutions for sustainable ocean management, in line with national and European strategies for open science, digitalization and the ocean mission.
