1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SITUATION IN JANUARY 2005

1.1. PRESENTATION

Brief historical review

The Instituto de Agroquímica y Tecnología de Alimentos (IATA) (Institute of

Agrochemistry and Food Technology) was founded in 1957 within the Departament of

Plant Chemistry, then dependent on the “Alonso Barba” Institute of Chemistry which no

longer exists, under the Patronage of Juan de la Cierva Scientific and Technical

Research, in the heart of the School of Chemical Sciences of Valencia University. The

Departament of Plant Chemistry was located in the laboratories situated in the

semibasement of the School of Sciences up until 1966, at which point it was moved to

a new building in Jaime Roig street, Valencia, and adopted its current name Instituto de

Agroquímica y Tecnología de Alimentos. During the early years of its scientific life, the

IATA focused its research on vegetable foodstuffs that were of economic importance in

the Valencian region, fundamentally citrus and rice, and in the following years its

research work became progessively more diversified, moving towards other lines and

products, adapting to the demands of the different agro-food sectors. As a result of the

important and dynamic research activity developed over a number of decades, the

IATA became a pioneering centre, point of national and international reference for

Food Science and Technology and was, at the same time, the cradle in which other

scientific research lines were promoted, related to agronomy, environment and natural

resources that, later on, gave rise to other independent research Institutes, like the

Instituto de Biología Molecular y Celular de Plantas (IBMCP) (Institute of Molecular and

Cellular Plant Biology) and the Centro de Investigaciones sobre Desertificación (CIDE)

(Centre for Desrtification Research).

It is worth pointing out that for 35 years a post-graduate course in Food Technology

Specialization was imparted at the IATA, giving a Diploma granted by the Ministry of

Education and Science, which was an important reference point for Food Science

Training studies, both in Spain and in Latin-American countries. Likewise, the sixties

saw the first edition of the Review of Agrochemistry and Food Technology, which after

1995 became known as “Food Science and Technology International”, edited first of all

by Chapman & Hall and currently by SAGE Publications. The review’s Editorial

Commitee resides at the IATA and the review has a current impact index of 0,6 in the

Science Citation Index.

Surroundings

In the summer of 1995 the IATA moved to its present premises located in Paterna, 7

Km from Valencia. These installations were the first to be built on the lands that now

constitute the University Science Park, Parque Científico de la Universidad de Valencia

Estudi General (UVEG), where the headquarters of other reserach institutes belonging

to the UVEG are progressively being installed, as well as a joint centre of the UVEG-

CSIC. Therefore, the IATA is integrated in surroundings housing different research

institutes, currently sharing the plot, entrance and exit and other common facilities, like

the canteen.

Likewise, since 2003 the company BIOPOLIS S.L. has had its headquarters in the pilot

plant at the IATA, a joint company with participation of the CSIC and the companies

Natraceutical, Corporación Alimentaria Peñasanta (CAPSA) and Talde, dedicated to

research and development, as well as to small-scale production and the improvement

of production processes of food biotechnology products.

1.2. STRUCTURAL DATA AND RESOURCES 1.2.1. Organizational structures The IATA is centre belonging to the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas

(CSIC) with an extended Faculty Board. This situation originated in 1995, when an

Agreement was signed with the UVEG by which different lecturers/professors of this

this University moved to the laboratories located at the IATA to carry out their research

work within the ambit of agro-foods, while maintaining their teaching commitments at

their respective Schools. Thus, coinciding with the move to the new installations in

Paterna, 9 teaching staff of the UVEG joined the Scientific Committee of the IATA and

after different withdrawls and new incorporations, at present there are 6 members of

the UVEG teaching staff belonging to the extended Faculty Board of the IATA (3 from

the Department of Preventive Medicine, 2 from the Departament of Biochemistry and

Molecular Biology and 1 from the Departament of Microbiology).

The current structure of the IATA was approved by the Executive Council of the CSIC

in February 1994 and is made up of three Departments and six Research Support and

Service Units. Figure 1 represents the organizational chart of the IATA.

Directorial Structure The Directorship of the IATA has been held by Dr. Lorenzo Zacarías García since

November 2004. Dependent on this, is the Vicedirector’s position, currently held by Dr.

Antonio Martínez López and that of Management, held by D. Ascensio Navarro

Alarcón, assisted by a Secretary, Dña. Mercedes Durá. Dependent on the Institute’s

Directive body are the heads of the three departments; Dra. Paloma Manzanares,

Head of the Department of Biotechnology; Dra. Cristina Molina, Head of the

Department of Food Science and Dr. Rafael Gavara, Head of the Department of Food

Preservation and Quality.

Governing Board of the Institute and Faculty Board

The Governing Board of IATA is composed of 9 members: the Director, who acts as

president of the Board; the Manager, without the right to vote, who acts as Secretary;

the Vicedirector; the three Heads of Departament and three representatives of the

IATA staff members.

The present Scientific staff of the IATA, currently awaiting the official appointment of

two new permanet scientists, is made up of a total of 45 members with full powers; 37

research professors/lecturers, research and scientists of the CSIC, 2 researchers

belonging to the OPIS and 6 professors/lectureres of the UVEG. Generally, the

Management

The management of the IATA carries out the administrative functions inherent to this

position. There are six dependent Research Support and Service Units descibed in

detail later on.

List of Departaments

As previously mentioned, the IATA is organized in the following Departaments:

• DEPARTAMENT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY

• DEPARTAMENT OF FOOD PRESERVATION AND QUALITY

• DEPARTAMENT OF FOOD SCIENCE

List of Research Support and Service Units

The following Support and Service Units are dependent on IATA Management:

• Administration

• Pilot Plant

• Computer Science and Statistics

• Library and Documentation Service

• Maintenanace

• General Services

1.2.2. General infrastructure

The IATA has its own facilities with a total surface area of 11.230 m2. These facilities

are divided into three interconnecting buildings which are devoted to different activities,

with the following distribution:

• Building housing management and services: 4,072 m2

A three-storey building where one enters the Institute. On the ground floor

there is the reception desk, the administration service, the unit of computer

science and statistics, a lecture-room and a research laboratory. On the first

6

floor we find the library and the offices as well as the offices of Direction and

Management and the Board room. On the second floor there is the

conference/lecture theatre and the dining-hall. The semibasement of this

building houses the common services and facilities of the Institute, such as

environmental and refrigerated chambers, store-rooms, workshop, the

maintenance unit, the offices of the Editorial Secretary of the review “Food

Science and Tecnology International” and a laboratory for the demonstration

classes carried out as part of the teaching activities imparted by the IATA

staff.

• Central Research Building: 4,995 m2

The main block has four floors in which we find the research laboratories, the

rearcher’s offices, a meeting room and a laboratory for general use on each

floor, as well as some laboratories with special facilities (isotopes, sampling

room, and a laboratory for instrumental analyses). The semibasement

(measuring over 1000 m2) is open-plan, affording the possibility of future

extension.

• Pilot Plant building: 2,162 m2

The building housing the pilot plant is located 15 metres from the central

research building, connected by a covered glass passageway. The building is

made up of two blocks, the first of which houses a doule-height pilot plant of

general use, the purchases stock-room and adjoining offices. The second

block, lower in height, holds the facilities of the individual pilot plants

belonging to the different workgroups (cereals, meats, post-harvest,

microbiology) and the laboratories of the company Biopolis.

Table 1.1.A. details the distribution of surface area of the IATA facilities destined to

general services and to the different Research Support Units and where some private

facilities are located, such as the offices of the Editorial Secretary of the FSTI review

and the Biopolis laboratories, which together cover a total surface area of

approximately 3800 m2.

Regarding the surface area dedicated to research-related tasks, table 1.2.B. shows the

distribution of the Departaments, which includes the laboratories and offices used

specifically by each research group, both in the main building and in the pilot plant,

which together make up a total of around 3500 m2. Moreover, also included in this

7

table we find the surface covered by the different general laboratories and the seminar

rooms on each floor, and the equipment for general use by all the researchers, like the

refrigeration, freezing and environmental chambers and the common area of the

general pilot plant, which cover a surface area of 1364 m2. All together the total surface

used for the research activities can be considered as over 4800 m2. The percentual

distribution between the three departaments of the Institute in relation to the

percentage of research staff is shown in the following table.

Departament % Researchers % Surface

Biotecnology 36 30

Preservation & Quality 25 25

Food Science 39 45

The sum of the surface area destined to tasks of management and services, together

with that destined to research-related activities makes up a total of almost 8,700 m2.

The following table indicates the percentual distribution of the total surface area of the

IATA building and reflects that most of the space available is being used for research

activities (43%). Considering that the surface of corridors, stairs and halls is nearly

1500 m2, the percentage of the available space used for research is 50% of the total.

The installation of the computer science network consists of 485 fixed connection

points (RJ45 level 5e) grouped together on patch panels in three network cabinets, with

a total of about 35000 m of fixed wiring. The network cabinets interconnect 24

multimode optic fibres (2400 m). Eight multimode optic fibres connect IATA to a

network panel of the University of Valencia and, through one of its fibres, to the

regional commutator of RedIris (100Mbps).

Network equipment: 12 commutators with 24 switching gates 10/100 and Gigabit optic

fibre modules. 1 similar commutator with 48 switching gates and 1 commutator with 8

Gigabit fibre/UTP gates. Trademarks Cisco and Intel. 5 back up repeaters with 10

switching gates of10Mbps.

Network servers: 3 main equipment sets (Intel board bi-processor, 2Gb ram, RAID-5

SCSI, Linux): Fire-resistant, Intrusions analyser and main server (mail, Web and users’

disc). 4 complementary sets of equipment (clone PC mono-processor, SCSI/IDE,

Linux): DNS, DHCP, Modems, regional Proxy-cache, video-conference and network

control.

1.2.3. Human Resources

The total number of civil and contracted staff of the CSIC working at IATA is 101

people, to which one must add 6 professors/lecturers of the UVEG, making a total of

107 people (Table 1.2). The distribution of the personnel is as follows: 45 research staff

(42%), 50 civil employees to support research (47%) and 12 contracted support staff

(11%), which means that 58% of the personnel at the IATA have a research support

role. In this section the contracted post-doctoral staff have not been counted, nor have

the pre-doctoral scholarship holders, only the personnel, an analysis of which is made

in greater detail in point 2 of this memory.

professors/lecturers of the UVEG) in each Department.

Food Science 57.2 44.5 38.1 0 39

The distribution data of the scientific personnel among the three departments of the

IATA reveals that the Department of Preservation and Quality is less numerous (11

researchers), whereas the other two Departments have a similar number of scientists.

In the Department of Biotechnology the scientific distribution of personnel is clearly

unbalanced towards the Contracted Scientists, possibly due to the greater

incorporation of new scientists in recent years. This fact is also displayed by the lower

average age of the Department members, which is around 44 years, as opposed to 50

and 50.7 years in the Departments of Preservation and Quality and Food Science,

respectively (Table 1.3). The greater average age of these two Departments coincides

with a change in the distribution by categories, the number of Research

Professors/lecturers being greater than that of Scientific Researchers and also that of

Contracted Scientists. This imbalance is greater in the Department of Preservation and

Quality than in that of Food Science. The greater average age in this last Department

may justify the greater percentage of scientific personnel belonging to higher

categories, with respect to their own Department as well as in the comparison between

Departments

10

It is necessary to emphasize that the incorporation of UVEG professors/lecturers is

clearly concentrated in the Department of Biotechnology, in which 5 out of the 6 IATA

members are to be found.

In the Department of Biotechnology the gender distribution is exactly 50%, whereas in

the Department of Preservation and Quality the number of women is greater (54,5%)

and in the Department of Food Science men are more numerous (59%). In the three

Departments there is a repetition of the previously mentioned fact regarding the total of

scientific personnel, the percentage of women in higher categories is significantly lower

than that of men, whereas the tendency among the Scientific Collaborators is reversed,

and in the Departments of Food Science and Preservation and Quality the percentage

of women in this category duplicates and triplicates, respectively, that of men.

In table 1.3 the average age and gender distribution has been calculated of the

research support personnel, both civil employees and contracted staff. The distribution

of the personnel in this group is well balanced, since it is divides at almost 50%

between those who dedicate their main activity to research and those that work in the

Support Service Units. With respect to the first group of support personnel, the

distribution by Departments also reveals a clear imbalance (Table 1.2.A). 58.6% carry

out their activity in the Department of Food Science, whereas in the other two

departments 17.2% are distributed between Preservation and Quality and 24.2% in

Biotechnology. The main reason for this imbalance must be the high number of

laboratory assistants, probably through the inertia to maintain the linked to that of older

scientists. With respect to the distribution of the support staff in the Units and Services, the

greater allocation corresponds to general Administration, including the personnel

related to Direction, which represents approximately one third of the total. 19% of the

personnel work in the general services (telephonist/receptionist and purchases

warehouse), followed by the Computer science and Statistics service with a percentage

of over 15% (Table 1.2.B.)

The average age of the research support personnel who are civil employees exceeds

52 years and in the group of Research Assistants, which is the most numerous group

(35%), it reaches 58.5 years. With the exception of the University Graduates whose

average age exceeds 46 years, the gender percentage distribution is clearly higher for

women, reaching, in the case of Research Assistants, three times that of men. For the

11

contracted research support personnel the average age is lower (48.4 years) and the

gender distribution higher for men, who double the percentage of women.

The following table shows the global data of sexenios and quinquenniums distributed

between the different categories of scientific personnel, as well as the averages of

sexenios and quinquenniums per scientist

Categories Total sexenios

Scientific Researcher 22 2,4 36 4 Scientist 43 2,1 57 2,7 UVEG lecturer/professor 13 2,6 15 3

The number of sexenios per scientist is higher for the research professors/lecturers,

whereas in the other categories it is very similar. The number of quinquenniums per

scientist increases progressively in the administrative category, possibly in relation to

the age difference between each group. The quinquennium/professor relationship of

the UVEG is similar to the one of the contracted scientists the CSIC.

1.3. DEPARTMENTS As mentioned in the previous section, the IATA is organized in three departments,

which in their turn are structured in different groups according to the affinity and

complementariness of their research lines. The table below summarizes the different

work groups in each department, with the scientific personnel that integrates each one

1.4. RESEARCH LINES

The scientific objectives described above define the specific lines of research

developed in the different work groups. These activities can be integrated into four

generic lines of research representative of the activity carried out in the Institute.

Table 1.4. The most representative research lines

RESEARCH LINES

Line 1 Food Biotechnology

Line 2 Food Safety

Line 3 Quality, nutrition and health

Line 4 Food preservation and processing

1.5. SERVICES

IATA has no services or platforms working for external or internal users. Activities or

services provided for different public or private entities are carried out by means of

specific research agreements or contracts. They are detailed in other sections of this

document. In the facilities of the pilot plant, mainly, and of other premises of the IATA,

there are general and common services to the different research groups where typical

activities of these facilities are carried out (scaling experiments, storage and

conservation, baking, fermentation, etc.) and which are offered in the joint ventures

developed with external entities.

1.6. EXTERNAL RELATIONS

IATA traditionally holds numerous and close external relations - institutional and

academic, as well as with entities in the industrial sector. These relations with public

and private entities have come about in different ways. The most relevant relationships

developed in the last few years by means of specific collaborative agreements and

contracts are shown below.

• Institutional Relations

After the collaborative framework agreement between CSIC and the Generalitat

Valenciana signed in 1995, different specific agreements on research and cooperation

15

have been developed with the following Consellerias , independently of the research

projects and fellowships obtained in the competitive Calls;

- The Council of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries pertaining to the Generalitat

Valenciana. Over the last few years close relations have been held with this Council

that has been made by means of specific agreements:

- During the last five years agreements have been signed for the completion, by

different groups from the IATA, of research works on subjects of interest for

the Conselleria.

- Agreement to carry out control analyses of waste from live animals for

slaughter (2001-2006).

- The IATA is one of the research Institutes that make up AGROALIMED. Its

participation in this organization is being carried out by the Associated Unit of

the UPV.

- The Council of Culture, Health and Sport. The relation with this Council has taken

place by means of:

- Agreement on training practices with Institutes of Vocational Training.

- Specific agreements at higher educational levels.

- Bancaixa. The IATA takes part in the research fellowship programme financed by

Bancaixa, within the agreement between CSIC and this financial institution.

- Others. Collaborative framework agreement with AINIA Technological centre, by

means of which different research and training activities are developed.

• Relations with academic institutions.

IATA maintains a close relation with the two public Universities of Valencia, taking

shape in different types of agreements and contracts.

Universitat of Valencia-Estudi General (UVEG)

As previously mentioned, the facilities of the IATA are located on lands belonging to the

UVEG Science Park in Paterna, together with three UVEG institutes of research and

another mixed UVEG-CSIC centre.

16

Since 1995, there has been a specific collaborative agreement by means of which

teachers of the UVEG belong to the enlarged faculty of the IATA. There are currently: 1

Professor/lecturer and 5 Permanent Professors/lecturers, who have their laboratories in

the IATA facilities. This agreement allows the incorporation of new professors/lecturers.

A strong point of the relationship maintained by IATA with these universities and one of

the most important activities in its relations with both the UVEG and the UPV

(Polytechnic University of Valencia) is the involvement of IATA researchers in

university graduate and post-grade teaching. In the last 5 years, an average of 6

researchers from IATA have worked as part-time associate lecturers in the same

number of subjects imparting the degree in Food Science and Technology, making an

average of approximately 25 annual credits. A subject in the Diploma in Human

Nutrition and Dietetics has also been imparted. At the same time, between 4 and 5

subjects in the third cycle of the programme for Food Science and Technology have

been taught, with an average of 14 annual credits, in which 14 researchers from the

IATA are involved.

Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV)

As in the previous case, there is a close and long-standing ties with the UPV that is

reflected in several collaborative projects, coordinated among researchers from the two

institutions, in an associate unit and with important involvement in educational

activities. Four researchers from the IATA are part-time professors in the degree in

Food Technology and Science and two in Agricultural Engineering, imparting 18 and 10

credits, respectively. Besides, 4 subjects are imparted in the PhD programme in Food

Science and Engineering, 4 in the Master in Food Science and Engineering, 10 in the

Master in Packing and Packaging and one in the Master in New Technologies.

Cardenal Herrera University (CEU-San Pablo)

Educational collaborative agreement for the realization of training practices in the

facilities of the IATA pilot plant.

Jaume I University (UJI)

Educational collaborative agreement for the realization of training practices in the

facilities of the IATA pilot plant. A researcher from the IATA is a part-time associate

lecturer at this University.

17

Fundación Universidad-Empresa (University-Enterprise Foundation)

Educational collaborative agreement to carry out training practices in the facilities of the

IATA pilot plant.

Castilla–La Mancha University.

Two researchers from IATA do annual teaching as lecturers of the second-cycle

subjects in the Faculty of Chemical Sciences of this University.

Others. Apart from these relations outlined in specific agreements and contracts,

researchers from IATA have maintained other relations and scientific activities with

several national and international Universities, through joint participations in European

projects, integrated actions, researcher and lecturer exchange programmes, and other

programmes that are not mentioned in this section.

2. CENTRE/INSTITUTE RESOURCES FOR 2000-2004 2.1. HUMAN RESOURCES

The evolution of the human resources existing at the IATA in the five-year period 2000-

2004 is shown in Chart 2.1. As mentioned in point 1.2.3 of the previous section, the

total number of people working in IATA by December 2004 was 184, and their

distribution was as follows:

- Scientific staff personnel. Amounting to a total of 45 people; 37 directly

belonging to CSIC (7 research Professors, 9 scientific Researchers and 21

contracted scientists), 2 researchers from OPIS and 6 professors/lecturers from

UVEG (1 head of department and 5 permanent professors/lecturers). In the

vacancies call for Contracted Scientists in year 2004, two Ramón y Cajal

fellowship holders from IATA passed the concurso oposición (competitive

examination) and they are waiting to take up the post, so two new

incorporations should be added to the previous number.

- Support staff personnel. Personnel in Research Support and Services totals 70,

of whom 50 have civil contracts (as civil servants), 12 have labour agreements

and 8 are under contract. This important group represents 38% of the total

number of personnel at the IATA and, as mentioned in the previous section,

54% carry out their activities directly in the research departments, while the rest

of the personnel is involved in general services to assist research.

- Post-doctoral Contracts. This group encompasses a total of 15 hired people, 8

of whom come from the Ramón y Cajal Programme. This last number includes

the 4 new contracted post-doctorates from the 2004 call and the 2 hired people

who have not yet taken up the post as permanent scientists. There are 3

doctors in the recruiting programme I3P and finally, 8 people supported by other

calls or projects.

- Pre-doctoral fellows. The total number of students working on their PhD thesis

was 54 in December 2004. This group represents nearly 30% of the total

personnel at the IATA and 47% of the scientific staff. 35% of the pre-doctoral

fellows are financed by a FPI or FPU fellowship, 13% by the I3P programme

21

and the remaining 52% are fellows supported by other national or local projects

or programmes.

Some comments should be made with respect to the evolution of the IATA personnel in

the five-year period 2000-2004. Firstly, it highlights that the number of tenured or

scientific personnel has remained practically stable, since it has only changed from 44

researchers in year 2000 to 45 in year 2004. This number includes UVEG

professors/lecturers who carry out their scientific activity at the IATA, with very few

changes during the last 5 years, between 5 and 6. Considering the reduction due to

retirement of scientific personnel and the incorporations of new scientists in CSIC calls

for examination, the net balance for the period 2000-2004 gives a deficit of 3 postitions.

If we bear in mind that imminently two new permanent scientists will be taking up posts,

the result is the loss of 1 in research personnel.

The following chart shows the annual distribution of the number of scientific and

support to the research personnel, who have joined or left the institution.

Annual distribution of scientific and support personnel who have joined or left IATA in

the last five years.

Scientific personnel joining

3 0 4 1 1 9

Support personnel leaving

1 1 0 2 1 5

Support personnel joining

1 1 2 0 1 5

Regarding the support to the research personnel, data in the previous chart show that it

has remained constant over the last 5 years, with an appropriate replacement of the

personnel lost by retirement or death. However, and as mentioned in the previous

section, the average age of this group is relatively high and highly concentrated at

specific periods of time, which will lead to an important number of retirements taking

place at the same time.

The distribution of support and service personnel in their different categories has

changed over the last few years. The number of people involved in administration

22

services has increased in a similar way to the descent in personnel dedicated to

supporting research.

On the other hand, the number of research personnel hired has undergone a gradual

descent (from 22 in the year 2000 to 8 in the year 2004). It must be said that the

researchers hired under the Ramón y Cajal programme are currently 8, 6 accountable

to CSIC and 2 to the UVEG and that the call for the year 2004 led to 4 people being

hired, all of them from CSIC. Besides, the last 4 permanent scientists joining IATA (2 in

year 2003 and 2 in 2004) were people who had been hired by this programme in a

previous call, and who already operated in this institute. This demonstrates the

competitiveness of such contracts.

The number of pre-doctoral fellows, most of whom are carrying out their doctoral

thesis, has experienced a considerable increase (42%), mainly FPI fellows. This is due

to the award of these fellowships to projects requested by IATA researchers and

financed by the National Plan, which demonstrates their quality. The fellows financed

by projects or by other national or local calls have remained relatively constant over the

years.

2.3. BUDGET

Table 2.3 shows the evolution of the different concepts of the IATA budget between the

years 2000 and 2003. The total budget of the institute has undergone an increase of

6.23%, and was recorded last year at slightly over 7 million euros. The external

resources generated have undergone a decrease of around 22%, while the internal

ones increased by a similar percentage. The budget for personnel increased by 9%

and the ordinary budget by nearly 30%. Finally, investment capital has increased 4.5

fold.

4. STRATEGIC PLAN OF THE CENTRE / INSTITUTE

4.1. ANALYSIS OF THE STATE OF THE ART OR POSITION OF THE CENTRE/INSTITUTE IN ITS COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT

The Instituto de Agroquímica y Tecnología de Alimentos shows signs, according to the

data for the last five years outlined in section 3 of this document, that its scientific and

technological activity can be considered good within its competitive surroundings. The

data concerning the generation of resources demonstrates that the institute has the

sufficient capacity to capture public and private financing. This is understood within the

context of performance in the agro-alimentary sector that, despite its importance and

repercussions on society, reaches limited levels of investment and resources for

research which are below other experimental sciences. Moreover, other indicators of

the scientific activity carried out at the IATA show that in certain research lines it

reaches an excellent level of competitiveness and holds a position of national

leadership, also seen at an international level.

4.1.1. Strengths

The IATA has three departments that, together, include a wide range of disciplines or

topic lines within the area of Food Science and Technology. This wide range of

disciplines is indeed one of the main strengths of the institute. The set of abilities and

resources in the different scientific disciplines within Food Science allows the institute

to undertake R+D+I projects from an integral and multidisciplinary approach, to deal

with basic aspects or to generate knowledge, as, for instance, from the perspective of

industrial application. At the same time, this strength makes it special among institutes

in the area of Food Science and Technology belonging to the CSIC, as well as other

national centres or university departments, and it is to this that the IATA owes the

prestige it has consolidated over its long scientific trajectory.

These aforementioned strengths can be detailed in the following sections:

1. An important strength of the IATA lies in its activities related to the application of

biotechnology to food science. These activities are driven mainly, although not

exclusively, by the research being carried out with micro-organisms of industrial

interest and in the bioprocesses in which they take part. The Department of

Biotechnology is the only one belonging to the CSIC that works with bacteria,

25

yeasts and filamentous fungi to be used in the food industry. Molecular

techniques and biotechnological strategies are also applied in other activities of

the Institute, like food safety, post-harvest processes and quality of vegetal

products, to mention two examples. This strength of the IATA singles it out from

the CSIC centres in the area of Food Science and Technology and is one of the

lines of investigation in which IATA has grown in recent years. Moreover, works

have been started in which the recent techniques of global analyses are to be

applied (denominated omic, genomic and proteomic). These activities are

supported in the Valencian environment with great potential and this can give

greater strength and singularity to the activities carried out by IATA in this line of

work.

2. The activities in food safety constitute another of the IATA’s strengths. This

activity is of special relevance at the present time and at the IATA there is

experience and capacity in different aspects of safety, like predictive

microbiology and evaluation of microbiological risks, fast analytical methods of

detection and speciation of heavy metals, molecular methods to identify and

characterize alterative and pathogenic micro-organisms and the development of

immunological methods to detect chemical and biological polluting agents. This

diversity of experimental approaches and applications to guarantee food safety,

also, constitutes another distinguishing singularity of the IATA within the

national context, since centres with this potential and complementariness of

resources in the matter of food safety do not exist.

3. Another strength of the IATA is in the activities related to packaging and

processes, where it has a long tradition and distinguishing aspects at national

level. The packaging laboratory is the only one of this type in the CSIC applied

to Food Science and is carrying out important activities in packaging

technologies, and application of new materials to food packaging. The IATA has

been prestigious in the area of food processing for decades and currently has

equipment in the so-called emergent technologies (high pressure, electric

pulses, etc.), with numerous applications to different lines of work, which

continue to make it competitive and outstanding.

4. A strength in our scientific area of performance is sensorial analysis and

analysis of food properties, which together with the sampling-room at the IATA,

confer a distinguishing singularity. It is important to emphasize that the

26

availability of this installation and the experience of the consumer’s evaluation

and acceptance of foods, confer to the IATA capacities that are still essential in

new food technology, since we are able to evaluate the sensorial quality and

the acceptance of the new foods that are to be developed in the future.

5. Other strengths in the scientific prowess of the IATA constitute what we can call

sectorial groups, in particular those dedicating their activity to products derived

from cereals, meat science and post-harvest of fruits. These groups, specifically

the first two, have a long tradition and prestige at a national level and are a

reference point in these lines of work at the CSIC. The group working with

cereals and derivatives is unique in the CSIC and one of the few national

groups working on this topic, and currently it has an outstanding presence in

international institutions. The group working in meat science also has a long

tradition in the IATA and its activity in cured meat products has turned it into a

point of reference among the CSIC centres and also at a national level, as

demonstrated by its integration into the Meat CECOC as a founding member.

The post-harvest group concentrates on citrus fruits and has a strong potential

on combining physiological and biotechnological aspects on the post-harvest

quality, conservation and pathology, which distinguishes it at a national and

international level. Finally, the works being carried out on juice characterization

are strategic in the Comunidad Valenciana and fill an important gap at a

national level. The fact that the IATA is able to house groups of these

characteristics, working on important products for the Valencian and national

agro-food sector, confers a very significant strength that is not to be found in

other national centres.

6. Some of the aforementioned strengths can be developed adequately given the

availability of facilities and multipurpose pilot plants (meats, cereals, post-

harvest, emergent preservation technologies) and with the potential of future

expansion and improvement. In addition, this potential allows the Institute to

maintain good relationships of interaction with industries pertaining to different

agro-food sectors and to undertake technological support projects and joint

contracts of cooperation reaching the standards of present day needs.

7. The three IATA departments have strong ties with numerous companies in their

respective sectors, a fact which allows, besides collaboration in technological

development, to have a clear vision of the needs in the company setting.

27

8. The geographic location of the IATA in important productive agricultural and

industrial surroundings confers strategic advantages affording the possibility to

get to know and become involved in current problems of the agro-industrial

sector.

9. A strength derived from the external relations of the IATA is the link with the two

main Universities located in Valencia (UVEG and UPV). The relationship with

the UVEG allows its professors/lecturers to develop their research work using

the IATA facilities. Moreover, IATA researchers are directly involved in

university teaching, affording the possibility of attracting young researchers,

besides offering quality teaching. The existence of a unit associated with the

UPV allows the IATA to approach joint collaboration projects in a

multidisciplinary way, since the lines of work preferred by the researchers in the

two institutions can be complemented

4.1.2. Weaknesses

In the IATA, like in other national research centres, one can detect weaknesses

inherent to their own scientific activity and others derived from the general situation in

the national surroundings and from the CSIC in science and technology.

1. A general weakness is related to human resources. As one can seen in

previous sections, with the staff incorporations and discharges that have taken

place in IATA over the last five years, there has not been any increase in the

research personnel, just a turn-over or replacement. This situation makes it

difficult to approach new lines of work and to improve the competitiveness of

the existing ones, and in weaker research lines it can even jeopardize the

capacity to continue the scientific activity if new incorporations are attended to.

2. With respect to the research support personnel, several considerations can be

made. There have been very little incorporation of personnel in recent years

and an imbalance exists in the distribution between the three departments. On

the other hand, the average age of this group is very high and relatively

homogenous, which will lead to a great number of retirements in a relatively

short period of time. We should, therefore, try to replace and increase this

28

section of personnel and to improve their distribution among the different

groups in order to improve their research potential.

3. Certain weaknesses exist in some specific aspects of research lines in which

there is competitive capacity. In food safety, for example, subjects related to the

traceability, analyses of some polluting agents and allergenicity are not being

attended to.

4. In questions of functional foods and aspects related to nutrition, IATA does not

have an outstanding competitive position. In recent years important efforts have

been made and financing of competitive programs has been obtained, but

weaknesses still exist, overall related to functional compound analysis,

experimentation in vivo and preclinical tests, matters that we are trying to

promote.

5. In certain research groups one can detect that they are focussing or

concentrating too much on very sectorial subjects and, although at the moment

they are competitive and they demonstrate indicators of quality, they could be

exposed to greater risks on facing possible future events, in such a narrowly

focussed line of work. The same issue can be raised in groups that repeatedly

maintain their activity in a very specific line, where the lack of innovation and

originality can imply a threat.

6. An excessive fragmentation of research groups or groups with few research

personnel could become a weakness of the IATA and jeopardize obtaining

finance in competitive projects, in which greater human resources are required.

7. We still have not developed or established the conditions to efficiently approach

the new technologies of global analysis (proteomic, genomic, metabolomic, and

bioinformatic) that will be complementary to the research lines in biotechnology

and to other work groups.

8. At the moment there is a shortage of research service or support units in the

IATA (genomic and proteomic services, analytical techniques, bioinformatics,

nutrition, biotechnology plant pilot and facilities for experimentation en vivo).

The non-existence of this type of service, as well as of qualified personnel and

29

of support, could mean that some lines, which are competitive at present, will

not to be able to develop properly in the future.

9. It is difficult to acquire and renovate high-cost scientific equipment and the pilot

plant, which is hard to finance through competitive projects, since the

infrastructure programs are clearly insufficient to cover these needs.

10. Indirectly, but with effects on the way society envisages the research being

carried out, we should point out the absence of a good service for the diffusion

of results and the low profile of the OTT (Technology Transfer Service), making

it difficult to transfer technology and to gain opportunities in the sector.

11. Finally, the lack of flexibility in the management and administration systems put

the IATA, like other centres or institutes of the CSIC, in a position of inferiority

compared to national and international competitors with more dynamic

structures.

4.1.3. Opportunities

The research lines being developed at the IATA and their future projection can have

strategic opportunities in the external environment that improve their potential and

growth. In recent years there has been renewed interest and legislative changes in

numerous concepts related to food, nutrition and health, which can imply a change in

the works underway and in the more traditional lines of food research. The position of

the different work groups at the IATA in some of these sectors can provide strategic

opportunities that should be exploited.

1. The growing interest and the preoccupation of society regarding food safety,

means that the research lines being developed at the IATA have great

possibilities of growth if they adapt to the expectations and the new needs

demanded by the industrial sectors and society. In this respect, the new

European normative in the matters of safety (91/414/CEE and SANCO

directives 2004) mean that scientific and technological opportunities can open

up for the lines working in rapid identification of micro-organisms, organic and

inorganic polluting agents, evaluation of microbiological risk and predictive

microbiology.

30

2. Likewise, the national strategy programs for nutrition and prevention of obesity

(NAOS) and the demand for new foods with functional properties, offer

opportunities for the research lines at the IATA oriented towards these

activities. These would include, mentioning some of the most significant

examples, the studies of the properties and characterization of the effects of

functional foods or some of their components, healthier foods, pre and pro-

biotics. An example of the position of the IATA to take advantage of these

opportunities is the financing of several research projects for the mobilizing

projects on functional foods. Complementary to this, the interest in promoting

the consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables implies a greater support to the

research lines in this context, in which the IATA could have opportunities.

3. The strategies directed towards consumer acceptance and perception of foods

(consumer sciences) within the concept "from the table to the farm" are

fundamental in the new European food programs. The IATA can participate in

these strategies since it has groups with the experience and capacity to

become involved in these studies and, especially, in sensorial quality and

consumer acceptance of new foods.

4. From an environmental perspective or that of "white" technologies,

opportunities can present themselves where IATA groups, with their

experience, are in a good position to help resolve problems. They could achieve

this by means of non-polluting technologies, use and revaluation of by-products

in the agro-food industry, non-polluting strategies to control pathogenic agents,

among others.

5. The multidisciplinary character of research carried out at the IATA can offer

different strategic opportunities in the face of external situations, like those that

demand the involvement of specialized groups to undertake a possible

emergency or problem, of interest for the central or autonomic administration.

Two significant examples of this, are the involvement of a group from the IATA

in the crisis of Aznarcollar and the incorporation of the IATA in the technological

platform Agrofoods of the “Conselleria d’Agricultura, Pesca i Alimentació de la

Generalitat Valenciana” to encourage research of interest in this sector in the

Comunitat Valenciana.

31

6. Collaboration activities between different research groups can generate

strategic opportunities in approaching lines of work that are of present interest,

like the application of biotechnology to improve aspects or specific components

in the food quality or in pathogen control systems, for example.

7. One opportunity derived from the genesis of Biopolis from the IATA and its

present location, is the possibility of increasing and encouraging scientific

relations with companies, so that it could also be a vehicle to establishing

relations with the companies from the sector of the applied developments

generated in the IATA.

4.1.4. Threats

The following are the main threats detected in our external environment:

1. A threat derived from weaknesses previously discussed is that certain

vacancies of scientific personnel in specific groups are not filled, since that

could seriously jeopardize their continuity and competitiveness. This situation

could take place in the line of sensorial analysis and in some groups related to

food safety.

2. As mentioned in previous sections, the shortage of staff to support research

and the failure to replace the current staff can pose a threat to the activities of

the IATA. If measures are not taken in the course of the five-year period

corresponding to this strategic plan, the situation will become a real threat in the

next five-year period, in which a huge number of retirements will take place.

3. Changes in legislation and the current perception on genetically modified

organisms could be a threat for the research groups in food biotechnology that

would jeopardize their strategies of genetic manipulation directed towards the

production and improvement of food.

4. The shortage of public resources allocated to research in agriculture and the

food industry is a serious threat. In this sense, the future disappearance of the

FEDER funds can imply significant cutbacks in those institutes that have

received financing in previous years. The national plans in agriculture and food

are not capable of covering all the current needs and on occasions they hinder

32

new commitments to less contrasted or risk topics. This problem is equally

evident in the renovation and acquisition of new scientific equipment.

5. The difficulty to access the financing from the 6º European Union Framework

Programme means a general threat for several national institutes. The new

guidelines of the 7º Programme would suggest better competitive conditions for

the IATA, as used to happen in previous programmes.

6. A threat derived from the Spanish managerial structure in agriculture and the

food industry is the scarce involvement of companies, with a small allocation of

resources to research. The majority of companies in this sector are small to

medium sized and their possibilities and tendencies towards research, as

opposed to other scientific areas, are limited.

7. The lack of connection between the technological centres and the research

institutes jeopardizes what should be the natural means of diffusion and transfer

of technology.

8. The difficult and bureaucratized administrative management of the research

carried out is an important threat in the research centres.

9. Another general threat to the Spanish system of Science and Technology is the

absence of a well defined career in research and its incentives. This dissuades

new personnel from incorporating.

4.1.5. Integrated analysis

The activities and scientific capacities of the working groups make IATA stand in a

favourable position in its close environment. At a local scale, IATA holds a distinctive

and strong position with respect to other centres and Universities in the Valencian

region. (Comunidad Valenciana). The basic orientation of the research carried out at

the IATA is complementary to that developed in other agricultural and food research

institutes, such as the Institute of Research in Foods for Development (IIAD-UPV), unit

associated to the CSIC - mostly orientated towards food processing and engineering,

the AINIA and the ITENE - technological centres and service providers, or the IVIA -

which is strongly agronomy-orientated. Besides, there are close working relations with

33

all of them, coordinated projects in some cases and a vocation to collaborate and

complement each other.

On a national scale, the important singularities and distinctive features of the IATA

cannot be found in other national centres from CSIC or from other institutions. One of

its most relevant characteristics is its multidisciplinary working lines, with singular and

highly specialized groups which can offer the CSIC a national reference in their

respective working lines. Most of the working lines that are being developed at the

IATA differ from those of other similar institutes (IG, IF, IFI, IPLA) or they approach

complementary aspects in common research lines.

At an international level, the presence of many of the researchers from IATA on

committees, editorial advisory bodies, international conferences, etc., proves that many

of the research groups and activities developed are clearly visible and relevant.

In the first chapter of this strategic plan, scientific activities developed in the IATA have

been integrated in four generic lines of research that can be a good reference of their

activities as a whole. In chart 4.1, each of these activities and their competitive position

are globally assessed.

4.2. MISSION AND VISION OF THE CENTRE / INSTITUTE

4.2.1. Mission

34

The main mission of IATA is to develop fundamental, multidisciplinary and applied

research to advance, generate knowledge and technological development in the area

of Food Technology and Science. This mission is carried out through the research in

microbiology and biotechnical applications in food, food safety and quality

improvement, food processing and preservation. This mission also seeks to contribute

to the corresponding technology transfer to the industrial sector and to facilitate the

immersion of science in the social fabric by means of complementary activities of

education, diffusion and personnel training.

4.2.2. Vision

The future projection of the mission and the aim of the activities of the Institute is to

become a reference at national and international levels, integrating multidisciplinary

studies that lead to obtaining better quality, safer food that satisfy the consumer’s

needs for well-being and health. To achieve this, IATA should direct its efforts to the

consolidation of the leading research groups and to promote or encourage new

research lines and groups so that their capacities are improved. In short, the aim is to

position the Institute in a vanguard situation in the national and international

competitive environment of Food Science research.

In accordance with this vision, the Institute must strengthen its tasks related to training

and diffusion of information. To stay in a competitive position it is necessary to

persevere in the educational activities and training of scientists and technologists in the

most necessary areas and in those areas for which a great social and industrial

demand exists. Finally, it is necessary to promote the technology transfer to industry

and improve the external image of the Institute in its ambit of work.

4.3 RESEARCH STRATEGY

4.3.1. General objectives

The general aim of IATA is to promote and develop competitive research works that

generate knowledge and technological development in order to obtain better quality,

safer and more nutritional food, improving the production and preservation processes.

This general objective is developed through: a) the study of micro-organisms and the

alimentary bio-processes in which they take part, b) the study and application of

processing and preservation technologies which are less aggressive for the nutritional

35

and functional components of food, c) systems of evaluation and control of pollutants in

food to guarantee their safety, and d) improvement of the quality and nutritional

features of food.

4.3.2. Specific objectives

To achieve the general objectives that define the activity of the Institute, the following is

the suggested plan of action according to the specific objectives detailed in chart 4.3.2.

1. Potentiate the competitivity of the IATA in food safety. 2. Stimulate the development and application of food conservation and

processing technologies. 3. Stimulate research in biochemistry, microbiology and biotechnology in foods. 4. Improve competitivity in food quality and stimulate activities in functional

foods and nutrition.

The actions proposed for the development of each of these objectives are

encompassed within two general strategies: horizontal activities, which concern

contributions from each research group to specific objectives of the Institute, and

vertical activities, which are those of a general nature to improve the competitive

capacity of research groups (improvement in laboratories and general services,

encouragement of new lines of research and increasing human resources in

workgroups).

The specific objectives of the Institute's activities will be pursued through the following

defined actions:

4.4. EXTERNAL CONDITIONS AND TENDENCIES AND SUGGESTED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

The orientation of the activities carried out at the IATA, as in other research centres,

should be located within, and understood from, the national R+D+I environment in the

context of food and agriculture, with its determining factors and limitations. Therefore,

we consider that the same criteria should be used in the evaluation process as those

normally used in the selection and evaluation systems where competition is frequent,

and which also show the research quality. For this reason the following criteria are

suggested:

4.4.1. Quality Research

- Publications in international reviews of prestige according to the specific lines of

research and with a higher impact index.

46

- Index mentioning the publications.

- Number of invitations to participate in round tables, symposia, organization of

Congresses and scientific meetings.

- Number of researchers applying to work in our laboratories.

- Invitations to participate in the writing of book reviews and chapters.

- Participation in panels of editors from prestigious international magazines.

- Number of contracts with companies.

- Number of transferred patents.

4.4.2. Impact of the research

- Exploited and licensed patents.

- Doctors and other personnel trained in IATA working now on the industry.

- Participation in committees of experts and editorial committees, selection and

evaluation of the research.

- Requests for scientific-technical consultancy by companies or other public

organisms.

- Request for participation in activities to disseminate scientific culture to society.

- Request for participation in activities of scientific dissemination to the industry.

- Participation in activities to train technical personnel or other professionals.

4.4.3. Generation of income.

- To obtain public funding in competitive projects from local, national or

international administrations.

- To obtain research contracts with private entities.

- Exploitation of patents.

- Offer of external services properly marketed/promoted through correct

functioning of the OTT and new communication technologies (IATA website).

4.4.4. Added value

Apart from the previous indicators, IATA can offer an added value to the CSIC in

specific singularities of its activity and its environment:

- A consolidated relationship with the two main Universities in Valencia, regarding

both research and teaching. There is an important contribution of the

47

researchers from the IATA to the Degree in Food Science and Technology of

the UVEG and the Diploma in Nutrition. Besides, different professors from this

University have their research laboratories at the IATA. Regarding the UPV,

there is a unit associated to the main Institute of this University in Food

Science, where many researchers from IATA are involved, both in joint projects

and in educational activities. These activities prove the strong relationship with

these two entities, which must be encouraged in the future.

- Similarly, IATA is a link and a centre of reference for research in food and

agriculture in the institutions belonging to the Generalitat Valenciana. This

relationship is verified in different agreements, projects, activities and services

with the different Consellerias with competences in this industry. Therefore

IATA is an added value to the CSIC in its relationship with the Generalitat

Valenciana.

- Ample contribution in International Cooperation, especially the collaboration

with Latin America in researcher training.

- Finally, and as mentioned in previous sections, IATA provides the CSIC with an

added value in different research lines of research in which its groups are

outstanding and distinctive with respect to other CSIC centres. Included in

these activities are: a) groups working on industrial topics that specialize in

issues which other centres do not deal with or do not deal with in depth; b) the

capacity to approach different aspects of food safety; c) uniqueness in

biotechnological applications to Food Science; d) strong points in packaging

and processes, and e) strong capabilities in topics related to sensorial analysis

of food. These lines of performance, in which the strengths of the IATA reside,

offer an added value to the research and technological development in Food

Science carried out by the CSIC.

48

5. ACTIONS TO ACHIEVE OBJECTIVES

In order to attain the specific scientific goals proposed in the previous section the

following steps are proposed:

5.1 ORGANIZATION

The current organisational structure of the IATA is appropriate for the management of

its activities. The Goberning Board (Junta) and Scientific (Claustro) committees have

well-defined functions, and are the bodies in which decisions are made and within

which the personnel of the institute participate. Provided these bodies function correctly

there is no necessity for additional committees. The management structure of the

institute in which the director is supported by the vice-director is adequate for the tasks

they have to undertake. However, due to the numerous responsibilities of the institute's

administrator and the large volume of work continually undertaken it is necessary either

to make provision for a secretary or to redistribute some of the administrator's

responsibilities to other administrative staff.

A general comment concerning the administrative situation of the protectoral students

is that it will be convenient to define mechanics by which they may actively participate

in the life of the Institute, since they made significant contributions to the scientific

activity of the Institutes.

The structure, organisation and personnel involved in both general services and the

research support units is adequate for current work needs. Nevertheless, and as has

been pointed out in previous sections of this Strategic Plan, attention will have to be

paid to filling those vacancies that arise over the next few years in order to avoid

compromising the services that these units currently provide.

The IATA is organised into three departments and these in turn are composed of

different research groups linked by the nature and complementarity of their lines of

investigation (see Section 1). Experience over the years has shown that the

maintenance of this type of organisation is beneficial to the progress of research, being

synergetic and enhancing productivity. In addition, within the Spanish research,

development and innovation environment where the acquisition of project financing

through the National Plan requires a certain relative mass of researchers, a structure in

which groups work in similar or complimentary areas aids the possibility of obtaining

49

funding. It is not therefore currently considered necessary to change the organisation of

groups however, where scientifically justified, their modification or the creation of new

groups is not excluded. In this regard, and perhaps not so desirably, several groups

have arisen that comprise just a single researcher. The institute needs to encourage

the formation of stable groups of sufficient size to favour their competitiveness.

Although individual researchers can make distinct and independent project

applications, their integration within the structure of a group brings more benefits than

there solitary existence.

Over the last few years, the majority of new scientific personnel joining the IATA have

been incorporated into existing groups since this improves and increases the scientific

capacity of a given line of research. Whilst this has not been, nor should be in the

future, an impediment to the preparation of grant applications or the development of

new research projects, neither should it threaten group cohesion. In some cases new

scientific personnel have initiated lines of work in which there was either little or no

previous activity, and a new group has thus been established. In these situations

integration into a department and collaboration with other research teams should be

encouraged with the aim of facilitating the commencement of a new and competitive

line of research.

5.2. SPACE AND LOCALIZATION

The current organisation and distribution of the IATA has evolved progressively from

the dynamics of work needs and no major reorganisation is considered necessary.

Nevertheless, concrete localised modifications to respond to specific situations can be

contemplated which would not affect the general organisation.

It should be borne in mind that in the not too distant future the incorporation of new

scientific personnel will necessitate the creation of new research laboratories. The

IATA currently has a total of 25 laboratories available each intended to be shared by

two researchers, but all of which are currently occupied by 44 scientists. Despite the

apparent surplus of space, the progressive increase in the number of researchers (two

per year over the last five years, see section 2.1) combined with the reduced number of

personnel retirements means that space will run out for conducting research under the

prevailing conditions. Considering the proposal for new contracts/personnel made in

section 5.4.2, this situation could arise within three to four years. The structure of the

building in which the institute is housed offers two possibilities in the event of a need for

50

expansion. The basement of the central building is currently unoccupied and used as a

storage area as a result of major flooding in 2001. This large space could be adapted

and used for services which in the event of a similar occurrence would not lead to

dramatic and irredeemable losses thus permitting the utilisation of freed areas. The

second and more desirable possibility would be the construction of a third block

annexed to the existing two, space for which is already reserved in the ground plan,

which would provide 16 new research laboratories.

In accordance with the activities proposed in the specific objectives (table 4.3.2), the

creation of new shared-use laboratories is considered which will make it necessary to

create or redistribute work areas. Firstly, the creation of a cell culture laboratory could

be achieved by combining and conditioning a number of small rooms in the pilot plant.

The creation of a laboratory to house apparatus and equipment for genomics and

proteomics requires the modification of an area with adequate space. This may require

the restructuring or reorganisation of other laboratories of general use such that

sufficient space is made available for this new infrastructure. The construction of a pilot

plant for the Biotechnology Department requires major construction work and

investment. Based on the financing available and the necessities of the Biotechnology

Department's researchers, efforts will be made to undertake this satisfactorily. Finally,

improvements need to be made to the cereals, meats and post-harvest pilot plants.

5.3. SCIENTIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE

In order to undertake the activities detailed in the specific objectives (table 4.3.2) it is

necessary to renew old and outdated equipment as well as to acquire new equipment,

both in the research laboratories and in the pilot plant.

Equipment to be replaced:

Liquid scintillation counter

Wine multi-analyser

Infra-scan

HPLC Dionex

Atomic absorption spectrophotometer and HPLC

Colourimeter and visible spectrum spectrophotometer

Vacuum packing system

Installation of air-conditioning in the meat, cereals and post-harvest pilot plants

51

CG-MS with atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation interface

Rheometer with optical microscope incorporated

Laboratory microwave oven

New equipment required:

Laser diffraction particle size analyser

Lyophiliser

Fluorescence microscope with integrated image capture

Sterile packaging system

CO2 incubator and laminar flow hoods for the cell culture laboratory

Genomic and proteomic apparatus

Equipment for the biotechnology pilot plant

5.4. HUMAN RESOURCES

5.4.1. Retirements/vacancies

Over the course of the five-year period considered by this strategic plan a considerable

number of both voluntary and obligatory staff retirements will occur, some of which may

well compromise the work capacity of certain groups. The following table details the

personnel categories in which these retirements will occur.

Retirements of IATA staff during the five-year period 2005 to 2009

PERSONNEL 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 TOTALObligatory 1 1 2

Scientific Voluntary 2 1 1 1 5

1 Adm. 1 Tech. 2 Ass. Support

1 Ass. 1 Adm.

2 Ass. 1 Lab. 9

The total number of personnel retirements may well reach sixteen, and of these seven

will be CSIC staff scientists. In the current year one Research Professor will reach the

age at which retirement is obligatory (70 years), and two other researchers will reach

the voluntary retirement age. In 2006 one researcher will reach the obligatory

retirement age, and between the years 2007 and 2009 one researcher per year will

reach the age of voluntary retirement.

52

As regards support personnel, during the years 2006 and 2007 nine staff will retire, two

of which are administrative staff and five of which are directly involved in research

activities. Although it is just beyond the scope of this five-year plan, it is particularly

relevant to draw attention to the likely dynamics of future staff losses. During 2010 and

2011 twelve members of the services and support staff will retire and four researchers

will reach the age of voluntary retirement. Measures will need to be taken, especially

with regard to the former group, to plan for their replacement.

5.4.2. New positions

In accordance with the specific objectives and each of their corresponding proposed

activities (Table 4.3.2), the following table details the scientific profiles of new staff

scientist positions/contracts that are deemed necessary to achieve those objectives:

Staff Category Scientific profile

Biotechnology of micro-organisms of relevance in the

food industry

Biotechnology of proteins of food technological relevance

Microbiological food safety

Application of molecular techniques to food quality and

safety

Chemical contaminants in food

Physiological effects and development of functional foods

Evaluation of food allergenicity/toxicology

Quality and nutrition of cereal derivatives

Metabolic and nutritional studies of foods.

Biochemistry of meat products

Biotechnology of the quality and postharvest storage of

plant products

Food quality and sensorial analysis

New technologies and processes in food preservation

New packages and technologies in food packaging

High throughput technologies in plant products

16 research scientists

Functional genomics and proteomics in foods

53

The scientific profiles correspond principally with those activities proposed in the

specific objectives for the future lines of research in the institute. These activities and

the incorporation of competitive scientific staff will strengthen those research areas in

which the IATA currently has potential and which should thus be maintained, and also

support the work capacity in lines of research which would otherwise be weakened by

forthcoming retirements. In addition, particular attention has been paid to incorporating

researchers into new areas of investigation which the Institute needs to potentiate.

In order for the IATA to maintain and improve its research capacity it is equally

necessary to provide other human resources. Based on the research activities

proposed, the nature of services which should be created and improved, combined with

the need to replace personnel of various categories, the following table details the

proposed new human resources required for services and research support and their

associated functions:

Staff category Function 3 research assistants (upper grade) Genomic and proteomics laboratory,

bioinformatics, and isotope services. Extension and technology transfer.

3 research assistants (lower grade) Cell culture laboratory, animal house, and pre-clinical trials.

3 administrative staff Replacement of the financial manager; administration section, and storeman.

8 laboratory auxiliaries Replacement of retired staff and incorporation into research groups lacking auxiliaries.

3 general services staff To be distributed across general services.

5.5. ECONOMIC RESOURCES

The economic forecast for the next five years is detailed in table 5.5

5.6. SCIENTIFIC-TECHNOLOGICAL PROJECTS

5.6.1. Departments

The scientific and technological projects maintained by the departments in the IATA

have demonstrated their robustness over the course of the last quinquennial, and

based on this experience they are considered to be perfectly suitable for the activities

proposed in this strategic plan. The research areas to the developed in the institute

over the coming five years are defined in the specific objectives and activities proposed

54

in table 4.3.2. of the previous section. These activities can be undertaken within the

current departmental and research group structure and represent a reinforcement of

current scientific aims. However, the future creation of new research groups or the

restructuring of existing groups in order to maintain a coherent and rational scientific

structure cannot be excluded should this become necessary as a result of

developments arising from the research work. In this regard, and as commented

previously, the intention is to avoid the atomisation of workgroups or the creation of

groups with a reduced number of researchers. Organisation into departments and

research groups should be coherent with projects and research aims such that

scientific capacity and/or the utilisation of resources is enhanced, but at the same time

should not be an obstacle to the generation of new resources or the incorporation of

new scientific staff. In addition, researchers in the workgroups should be open-minded

and flexible towards group structure. Whilst not renouncing possible changes which

may be considered to be advantageous in the future, the current structure and scientific

organisation of the IATA is appropriate for undertaking the strategic actions proposed

in this document.

The creation of a laboratory for genomics, proteomics and metabolomics providing a

general service within the institute is desirable, as is a centralised cell culture facility.

Access to an animal house is also required.

5.6.2 Services

The general services of the IATA must be maintained and consolidated both as regards

infrastructure and human resources, and some of the activities proposed are

specifically directed towards this objective.

Facilities in the pilot plant need to be improved since they are one of the strengths of

the Institute and provide a general service for the majority of research groups. The

provision of a pilot plant facility for the Department of Biotechnology is one of the

activities which need to be undertaken. Due to the limited human resources available in

the general services, the personnel of the pilot plant need to be involved in the

maintenance and supervision of all the facilities and equipment which are currently

available in this service.

Two activities which are proposed in the Strategic Plan are the creation of a cell culture

laboratory, a facility now required by a number of research groups, and secondly a

55

laboratory to house high throughput technology equipment (genomics, proteomics, and

in the future, metabolomics) which will cover the requirements of various research

groups and constitute modern techniques of great potential which have begun to be

used within the institute. The incorporation of an upper grade research assistant to be

in charge of the latter service is highly desirable. In both cases, certain laboratory

equipment is already present thus it is necessary to make space available in these

laboratories, preparing them appropriately and completing their infrastructure. In

addition a similar upper grade research assistant post dedicated to the supervision of

the isotope laboratory is required, since its absence is a current problem in the

Institute.

With regard to animal house facilities, the most convenient course of action at present

is the use of existing facilities in the Faculty of Pharmacy in the University of Valencia.

This facility is located close to the IATA and agreements with the University permit all

aspects of its use by researchers in the institute. This provides a solution to fulfil

current necessities since the creation of this service within the institute itself is not

feasible at present.

The services provided by the general store and the purchasing system are good and

their efficient function is essential to the well-being of the institute. The introduction of

improvements into the buying procedure and the maintenance of the personnel

involved are measures which should be borne in mind.

5.6.3. External relations

The IATA is in a good position with regard to its external relations but measures should

be continually taken to improve these. In this sense it is essential that the institute

improves its projection/visibility to the exterior. The institute's researchers are involved

in various important national and international commissions, however, the Institute and

the CSIC need to be more visible to those institutions, industries and consumer

organisations within their ambit. This may be tackled by various science-based means:

• As mentioned throughout this document, relations with the University of

Valencia are of mutual interest and benefit and should be improved in the

future. The position of the University of Valencia in teaching and research in the

field of Food Science and Technology places the institute in a strategic position

which should be capitalised on. The IATA should become a point of reference

for the University in this scientific area.

56

• As regards the Polytechnic University of Valencia, relations with the Associated

Unit IIAD should be reinforced given that this provides a channel for teaching in

this University and is also a major scientific resource complementary to many

research groups in the institute.

• Relations between other associated units and the IATA are important for a

number of research groups and should be maintained and consolidated.

• It is important to maintain and improve relations with those departments of the

Valencian Community local government concerned with the agro-food sector. In

this sense, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food has the greatest

profile and financial involvement, and new possibilities for improvements exist

which should be grasped. By the same token, interaction with the Department

of Health offers possibilities in relation to food safety which so far have not been

exploited.

• Stable links should be created with other research centres and universities both

at national and international levels. Relations with the IVIA are important for

certain groups in the institute and should be improved.

Agreements should be reached between regional, national and international

institutions.

• Collaborations should be established with industrial associations, technological

centres and consumer associations. In this regard, improving relations with the

AINIA could be of mutual benefit to both institutes.

5.7. ACTIVITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENTIFIC CULTURE OR DISSEMINATION

The following activities are proposed to promote dissemination of science:

• Open days. Whilst this has not been an habitual practice in the institute it should

be encouraged and could be undertaken every two years.

• Visits by secondary schools, technical colleges and universities. These visits

are frequent in the IATA and should continue to be encouraged in the future.

• Publicity for research lines undertaken by the departments in national and

international contexts. The presence of the institute in Agro-food Fairs could be

an interesting possibility.

• The creation of an interactive web page with information concerning activities,

achievements and services provided by the institute.

57

• Potentiate technology transfer and the visibility of the institute by creating a

service for relations with the OTRI, technological centres, public bodies and

other interested social sectors.

• Present research lines during undergraduate courses, attract potential PhD

students, publicise the research undertaken.

5.8. RESULTS INDICATORS FOR RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

Based on indicators of results over the last five years, the expectations of the IATA

prepared by the different research groups and departments are summarized in Table
