Collaborate with CEIGRAM
At CEIGRAM we want to facilitate opportunities for collaboration with companies, administrations and other agents in the sector, with CEIGRAM researchers, for the development of R+D+i projects and studies that allow us to respond to the challenges that arise in livestock and agricultural farms in the field of economic, social and environmental sustainability.
Specialised reports and consultancies
We offer consultancy on defined problems and assist in the design and review of innovation-oriented business research studies.
Equipment and human resources
We provide equipment for the development of studies and product trials, always seeking the best way to protect research results.
Visibility and Communication
Together with the UPM, we help to give visibility to collaborative work in the field of R&D&I, facilitate the search for calls for proposals and collaborate in the preparation of proposals.
If you are a company or agent of the agri-food sector interested in carrying out research, development and innovation projects in collaboration with Ceigram
Collaboration and research networks
A significant number of CEIGRAM researchers participate in UPM collaboration initiatives, including the UPMwater Platform, the Africa Platform, and Agriculture 4DS. They are also involved in research networks with various centers and interest groups, such as RUENA and the REMEDIA Network.
These initiatives promote networking and strengthen research through the synergies found in multidisciplinarity and diversity of approaches. They also enable greater knowledge transfer through interaction with sector stakeholders.
The REMEDIA and RUENA networks are scientific networks working to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in agriculture and the efficient use of nitrogen through the balanced integration of agricultural, livestock, and forestry systems. Through applied research, they have achieved results that can lead to significant reductions in pollution. The Agri4DS Community encompasses UPM Research Centers and Groups, addressing broader scientific and technological challenges for sustainable agricultural production.
Funding for Public-Private Collaboration
There are several sources of funding for industrial doctorates. On our website, you can find information about calls for proposals from the Community of Madrid and Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.
Both calls are designed to support young researchers in developing research projects of interest to companies, while enhancing career opportunities for these young PHD holders. Additionally, the grants typically cover tuition fees and stays abroad.
International R&D&i programmes
The R&D&i Framework Programme is the largest source of funding at the European level. It funds interdisciplinary and multi-sector R&D&i projects, offering a broad range of tools that provide both international visibility and financial backing for public-private cooperation projects. Additionally, other international initiaitves, such as the PRIMA program, the LIFE+ program, and INTERREG, are increasingly focused on innovation, with university-business collaboration playing a key role.
CDTI grants for R&D&i
The centre for Technological Development and Innovation(CDTI) promotes innovation and technological development in Spanish companies through funding for the implementation of R&D&i business projects at both the national and international levels.
National Calls
The goal is to fund projects developed through collaboration between research groups and knowledge disemmination organizations (AEI group), as part of a coordinated R&D effort. Eligible projects for funding may include industrial research projects, experimental development projects or a combination of both. The project to be funded will be part of a coordinated effort involving two distinct groups: one made up of companies (CDTI group) and the other consisting of research and knowledge disemmination organizations (AEI group). For a project presented by the AEI group to receive funding in this call, it is required that the project be submitted by the CDTI is funded by them in the 2023 “Science and Innovation Missions” call under the TransMisiones 2023 initiative.
R&D Grants from the Community of Madrid Industrial Doctorates
The Community of Madrid is offering grants to enhance public-private cooperation in R&D&i by supporting technogical innovation projects with a catalytic effect developed by open innovation hubs in the Community of Madrid, within the framework of the Regional Research and Innovation Smart Specialization Strategy (RIS3).
Industrial Doctorate
The Community of Madrid and the State Research Plan publish annual calls for proposals across all fields of knowledge to support industrial PhD projects through funding for pre-doctoral contracts and funds for the development of the industrial project. Proposals are submitted by companies in collaboration with research groups.
Consulting and transfer
CEIGRAM aims to create a platform for the exchange and transfer of technological and research outcomes through collaboration with public and private sector entities, fostering social, economic and environmental sustainability.
Within each area of expertise, you will find information summarizing the range of scientific-technological services offered, along with examples of completed projects.

Study of the Effect of Deficit irrigation on Olive Trees and Vineyards Using Thermal and Spectral Sensors
The aim of the project is to evaluate the behaviour of olive groves and vines in response to different deficit irrigation strategies and their physiological relationship with thermal and spectral images from UAVs and satellites. In this way, the aim is to obtain a reliable source of data with which to build a fast and efficient decision-making system.
Among the specific objectives we are looking for:
i) To determine the most sustainable deficit irrigation strategies in olive groves and vineyards;
ii) Determining the parameters most sensitive to the hydration status of trees;
iii) Application of airborne spectral and thermal sensors (installed on UAVs and satellites) for the morphological and physiological characterisation of olive trees and vines; iv) soil-plant-atmosphere relationship with spectral devices; v) Development of learning systems for decision-making.

Evaluación de sistemas agrarios mediante series de tiempo de teledetección y modelos dinámicos de predicción
The aim of the project is to assess the dynamics of agricultural systems using time series of vegetation indices with high spatial resolution satellite imagery.
In this way, the aim is to obtain a methodology to be followed for the evaluation of agricultural systems that can help farmers and agricultural insurance companies to make future decisions.
Among the specific objectives we are looking for:
i) Evaluate farming systems with time series
ii) Develop vegetation prediction models.
iii) Map the different crops by their annual behaviour iv) Automate all the implemented methodology.
