Who we are

Spain is a founding member of MIRRI-ERIC and together with Portugal, shares the MIRRI-ERIC Central Coordinating Unit. Spain hosts the Collaborative Working Environment (CWE) Hub at University of Valencia, which serves as a key platform for facilitating cooperation and data integration across the MIRRI-ERIC network.

The MIRRI-Spain Node is composed of 5 leading national institutions in microbial valorisation, the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (MICIU) and LifeWatch-ERIC’s common facility in Spain.

The node plays a crucial role in supporting the Spanish scientific and industrial sectors by providing access to microbial resources and applied research services. Its primary objective is to drive innovation in agro-food, healthcare, and environmental microbiology, fostering both national and international collaborations.
