Research and innovation
At the Centre for Research and Studies in Agricultural and Environmental Risk Management (CEIGRAM), our work is organized into four key thematic areas, allowing us to address challenges from a multidisciplinary perspective: The Research Groups within our centre comprise a diverse team that includes Teaching and Research Staff (TRS), as well as pre- and post- doctoral researchers and trainees.
These groups collaborate on national and international projects alongside research institutions and companies, generating high-impact scientific and technological outcomes. Their structure fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and drives progress in agricultural and environmental risk management.

The researchers at CEIGRAM work across various lines of inquiry, which we can organize into four main Research Areas. The different Research Groups (RG) that form the backbone of the centre work on topics within one or more of these research areas, fostering collaboration among researchers though multidisciplinary projects.
CEIGRAM is composed of researchers from 13 Research Groups, each contributing fully or partially to the center’s activities. These groups represent the diversity and multidisciplinary nature that define CEIGRAM.
The Research Groups consist of Teaching and Research Staff,.as well a pre-doctoral and post-doctoral researchers and trainees. The Research Groups serve as the cornerstone for the development of national and international Projects, as well as collaborations with companies.
