Our commitment to sustainable development
Finished projects
In 2015, the United Nations approved the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a new path to improve life in the world in
a global and egalitarian way. To this end, it has 17 Sustainable Development Goals, with diverse themes and influence at
different levels.
The lines of research we are currently developing are focused on sustainable development with a view to the 2030 Agenda.
Our aim is to ensure that all our efforts are aimed at a fairer, more egalitarian and environmentally responsible future.

Evaluation of the activity of novel polymeric films to
inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria in foodstuffs
Food
research
is
focused
on
enhancing
food
safety
through
the
development
of
new
films
with
bactericidal
and
antioxidant
action,
applied
to
food
packaging.
The
use
of
biodegradable
polymers,
together
with
the
reduced
waste
that
is
achieved
by
extending
the
life
of
foodstuffs,
makes
it
possible
to
achieve
a
lower
volume
of
waste,
less
toxicity,
and
therefore
contributes
to
reducing
environmental pollution as well as greater food safety.

Improving
the
identification
of
biological
fluids
at
the
scene
of
a
crime
is
an
elementary
step
in
the
police
investigation
and
prosecution
of
suspected
crimes.
Biological
fluids
such
as
blood
can
be
confused
with
everyday
interferents
such
as
chocolate
or
ketchup,
depending
on
the
type
of
surface
they
impregnate
or
the
time
they
are
collected.
This
work
is
part
of
an
EU-funded
project
in
the
H2020
programme
where
scientists,
technologists
and
law
enforcement
personnel
are
working
together
to
make
people
safer
in
order
to
protect

and
transfer
the
conclusions
to
