Relationship with the environment

ECOBAS seeks to drive change by generating quality knowledge to help solve the problems and needs of society. In this sense, it presents rich experience and a trajectory of work and collaboration with a broad variety of actors and agents from companies and business clusters, non-profit associations, research bodies and centers, public administrations, and other social actors.

In the field of the private sector, some collaborations take place on a one-off basis, while others are consolidated over the course of several years. Such is the case of ARDÁN, Inditex, Family Business, or Autonomous Financing (See the list of collaborating companies).

As for the transfer to the public sector, several of the Centre's researchers belong to important national and international expert committees directing current policies like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the group of Experts on Fiscal Reform, or the Committee of Experts in the National Office of Prospective and Long-Term Country Strategy.

In short, we are committed to generating impact through three main channels:

• The provision of highly trained postgraduates and PhDs, who can respond to complex problems and contribute to the development of our society.
• The execution of research highly focusing on real social problems and excellence.
• The offer of R & D & I services to companies; counselling regional, national and international administrations in the formulation and definition of public policies; and the design and development of collaborative initiatives with third sector actors and other informal civil Society actors.
