The GLOBIMED network aims to integrate the
activities of 17 scientists and their respective working groups
(collaborators, members of the department, students, technicians
and other personnel). These researchers are distributed uniformly
throughout Spain, ensuring representation of diverse ecosystems
and environmental issues, thereby broadening the scope of GLOBIMED
and its work. The open structure of GLOBIMED enables the participation
of a good number of Spanish universities.
GLOBIMED is comprised of scientists from
fields that, as a whole, cover the entire range of biological organisation
that constitutes biodiversity - whether genetic, population, community,
etc - which is crucial for the development of criteria of sustainable
forest development that can be conveyed to managers.
GLOBIMED is structured around five thematic areas, each under the
responsibility of a coordinator. These areas and the coordinators
are as follows:
