Since April 16th, 2007 the Estación
Fitopatolóxica belonging to the Diputación Provincial de
Pontevedra became an Associate Unit of the Misión Biológica de
Galicia, institute within the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones
Científicas (Higher Council of Scientific Research). This scientific and
technical association achieved after long negociations and cooperation between
the managers of both institutions, Dr. Rosa A. Malvar manager of the
Misión Biológica and Dr. Pedro Mansilla, manager of the
Estación Fitopatolóxica, was recently approved and signed by both
sides. Presently, in the Year of Science, when efforts are directed towards the
creation of solid scientific organizational structures, this association has
achieved a significant meaning, specially for Pontevedra city, that will
proudly show, a synergy between two important scientific and technical research
institutes. It is of crucial importance to inform our citizens of every
progress made on Science and technology, such as the strengthening of our
research and development structures by means of the association between the
Misión Biológica and the Estación Fitopatolóxica.
Definitely, we are facing a new horizon for agricultural and forestry research,
with a participant totally involved: the people of Pontevedra.
