01 / THE BIOMA Center
A NEW SPACE FOR TRANSFORMATION AND MEETING
The BIOMA Center was created as a meeting point for people and institutions that together seek answers and solutions to the most urgent problems, based on a passion for science and nature. It promotes multidisciplinary and applied research through the Biodiversity and Environment Institute, the teaching provided by the Schools of Science and Pharmacy and Nutrition; entrepreneurship through Innovation Factory and the dissemination and transmission of the passion for science through the Science Museum.
A 13,000M2 BUILDING
The BIOMA Center, which will be built on the University of Navarra's Pamplona campus over the next few years, is a project that combines research, training and dissemination of environmental and scientific knowledge at a single 13,000m2 location.
One third of the space will be used for teaching, another third for the tasks of environmental research and a final third for the Science Museum and scientific knowledge dissemination activities. There will also be an Innovation Factory for the promotion of entrepreneurship and innovation.
