The Bioeconomy Research Institute of the University of Valladolid (BioEcoUVa) was approved by the JCYL on June 7, 2018. The institute brings together several research groups dedicated to different areas: Pressure Technologies (PressTech), the Laboratory of Thermodynamics and Calibration in Pressure and Temperature (TermoCal), the Materials Physics and Chemistry group (UVaSens-CellMat) and the Process Design and Improvement Group (DIMEPRO). In 2023, the ProCerealTech (Innovation in cereals and derivatives) and AHMat (Study, Preservation and Recovery of heritage) groups joined the institute.
Together, these teams work to promote the bioeconomy, bringing a wealth of expertise and fostering multidisciplinarity. Their collaboration amplifies our impact on society and sparks a flurry of innovative ideas and proposals, all aimed at propelling us towards greater success.
BEFORE CONTINUING
Bioeconomy refers to the transformation of biomass into a wide range of food, health products, fibers, industrial products and energy. The term renewable biomass includes all biological material (agricultural, forestry and animal) considered as a product with value in itself or to be used as a raw material in other processes.
The strategic objectives of BioEcoUVa are to develop innovative, integrated and sustainable processes for the use and valorization of biomass, promoting and encouraging:
BioEcoUVa activities respond to the challenges set out in the European Bioeconomy Strategy, the Spanish Bioeconomy Strategy, and the RIS3 in priority 1: Agrifood and natural resources as catalysts for the extension of innovation over the territory, and the UVa’s priority research lines on “renewable energies and sustainability” and “industrial technologies and processes”.
GROUP LEADERS
Projects are our primary reason for being and our motivation, supported by major entities at the local, national, and European levels.
Strategic Research Programmes: BioEcoUVa Institute
BioEcoUVa is supported by the Regional Government of Castilla y León and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for the development of its strategic research programme during the 2025–2027 period.
The Institute of Bioeconomy of the University of Valladolid (BioEcoUVa) is carrying out the project “Strategic Research Programmes: BioEcoUVa Institute (BIOECOUVA)”, reference CLU-2025-2-05, funded by the Regional Government of Castilla y León, through the Department of Education, and co-financed by ERDF funds.
The programme runs from 17 July 2025 to 17 July 2027.
The project is led by María José Cocero Alonso and involves researchers and contracted staff working across different areas of activity within BioEcoUVa.
