Environmental Studies Centre - Research
Research program
Collaborative scientific-technical research program that intends to develop innovative ideas and strategies to improve the municipality’s environmental and territorial management of Vitoria-Gasteiz. In May 2017 the first Research internship program was initiated with 7 lines of work: landscape, soils, green infrastructure, climate change, organica agriculture and environmental awareness. Since 2019 a second edition of the research program was launched thanks to bilateral agreements signed by the CEA and several basque research institutions to work on: phytoremediation, soil health, hidrogeology and environmental DNA. An agreement has recently been signed with BC3 to research on the relational values between human and nature, and another with the UNESCO Chair in Cultural Landscapes and Heritage to make progress on these issues in the rural environment of the municipality.
The headquarters are in the Farmhouse of Olarizu.
