IMEDEA’s main goal is the production of high-quality scientific and technical knowledge about the structure and function of Nature and its responses to human activities. This knowledge is essential to the sustainable management of natural systems and to improve people’s quality of life. Concerned with its geographical context, IMEDEA research is focused on coastal/insular marine ecosystems. Thirty years after its foundation in 1986, IMEDEA has become a center of reference for the international and national scientific community in its activity field and for environmental managers in the Balearic Islands, a science talent attractor and a contributor to the training of young researchers. The Institute is active in transferring research outputs to society and in promoting scientific vocations among the young and science culture among the general public.
