The Center aims to become a reference Center of Excellence in Applied Aquatic Biotechnology, Environment, and Energy, promoting innovative and sustainable solutions for aquatic systems and contributing to the blue economy and energy transition.
Its mission is to advance applied research, innovation, and technology transfer in aquatic biotech, environmental sciences, and aquatic-based energy systems. It addresses major challenges such as ecosystem degradation, climate change, sustainable aquaculture, resource efficiency, and renewable energy. Through interdisciplinary research, it promotes the sustainable management of marine, estuarine, and freshwater ecosystems, develops solutions to address the circular bioeconomy, and supports clean energy technologies linked to aquatic environments. Collaboration with industry, public authorities, and international research networks, together with advanced training strengthens the role as drivers of innovation and sustainable development.
