Innovations for the evaluation, protection, and management of the marine environment, as well as for the study of material behavior in oceanic environments. Its objective is to improve the interaction between technology and marine ecosystems, with applications in environmental monitoring, underwater telecommunications, ocean engineering, and the treatment of discharges. It covers areas such as environmental technologies, underwater acoustics, and tools for marine research.

It includes the following lines of research:

• Environmental technologies
• Behavior of materials in the marine environment
• Marine telecommunications
• Underwater acoustics
• Ocean engineering
• Management and treatment of discharges and emissions in the maritime sector
