Iberostar Maritime Professorship

The Iberostar Group and the University of the Balearic Islands have recently signed a collaboration agreement for the creation of the Iberostar Maritime Professorship. This chair will be directed by UIB Biology Department professor Guillem Mateu and will aim to promote specialised training in all the fields related with the research, management and environmental conservation of our seas and oceans. Moreover, it will stimulate research in the field of marine ecology and related fields of knowledge by promoting the creation of new research groups and training for specialised research staff.
Iberostar is upholding its commitment to the oceans through its corporate social responsibility programme and its movement “Wave of Change”, by promoting the sustainable and rational use of marine resources, as well as raising awareness on the importance of marine conservation.
