The Balearic Biodiversity Centre is conceived as a scientific proposal to develop the Complementary Plans in the area of Biodiversity. The programme is promoted by the Ministry of Science and Innovation in collaboration with the Government of the Balearic Islands, and is entitled “Exploración, análisis y prospectiva de la biodiversidad: Posibles respuestas a la Estrategia 2030 de desarrollo sostenible en un escenario de cambio global“, within the framework of the Plan for recovery, transformation and resilience, called “Reforma institucional y fortalecimiento de las capacidades del Sistema Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación” (NextGenerationEU Funds).
Genomics Platform
The Genomics Platform is financed with funds from the Programa Operativo FEDER 2021-2027 through the HiTech Platform. This initiative, aligned with the objectives of the RIS3 and EECTI 2021-2027 plans, aims to contribute to the development of a sustainable economy and achieve the challenges for society, in addition to promoting the international projection of research in the Balearic Islands.
The Genomics Platform complements the facilities of the Balearic Centre for Biodiversity and enables the generation and analysis of genomic data with state-of-the-art techniques and thus contributes to the acceleration of knowledge in biodiversity, while generating a scientific resource that boosts the technical capacity of the scientific community and the business sector, and is able to serve as a consulting body for environmental managers.
