ICM Annual Report 2022
[EN] The year 2022 has been a year of changes for the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM). Valentí Sallarès has replaced as director Josep Lluís Pelegrí, who had headed the Institute for the last four years. Among the milestones reached during this period, it is worth highlighting the achievement, in 2020, of the Severo Ochoa Center of Exellence Accreditation, an award of maximum prestige that recognises the ICM as an international reference and which only some thirty research centres in Spain have. In fact, the ICM is the only marine research centre with this distinction. To better respond to the Institute’s mission to pursue an excellent research that incorporates social commitment, this leadership change has been followed by a restructuring of the centre’s organisational chart, which now has a Deputy Direction for Scientific Strategy that includes an Associated Deputy Direction for Scientific-Technical Services, and a new Deputy Direction for Knowledge Transfer. The latest includes an Associated Deputy Direction for Internationalisation and Science Diplomacy, and a Associated Deputy Direction for Marine Science Literacy, which together seek to promote a transition towards a more sustainable socio-economic system capable of improving the well-being of society and the planet. All in all, the new management will ensure that the ICM continues to be an excellent research centre committed to the conservation and sustainable use of marine life and ecosystems, the mitigation of the impacts arising from natural hazards and anthropogenic activity, and the study of the ocean’s role in climate regulation
