The Catalan Institute for Water Research (ICRA-CERCA)<\/a> has successfully completed the selection process for the position of Director of the research centre. The appointment has gone to Vicen\u00e7 Acu\u00f1a, a researcher at the Institute since 2009 and currently head of the Resources and Ecosystems area.<\/p>\n

With a PhD in Stream ecology obtained at the University of Barcelona in 2004, his main research interest are the ecology of temporary streams, the chemical fate and the ecological effects of emerging contaminants, the integrated management of the urban water system, and the nature-based solutions for water sanitation in urban areas. Thus, encompassing both basic and applied research, and fostering inter- and transdisciplinary research.<\/p>\n

The new director’s main challenge will be to promote ICRA-CERCA’s research excellence in the field of natural and urban waters.<\/p>\n
