This environmental department was created in 2008 in response to a growing need for scientific investigations addressing contemporary environmental issues. Since then, the group has coordinated and actively participated in national and international research projects to understand and predict the behavior of the natural environment and its resources.

The main activity of the Nature Group is to advance knowledge and technology to approach contemporary environmental issues, mainly in water desalination, energy storage, climate adaptation and areas related with convergence technology as risk events studies.

The group develops advance knowledge and technology in global environmental research by bringing together and managing skilled scientists and engineers to develop strategic and applied environmental solutions.
