Thematic Areas
The AEI has 19 subject areas, which are divided into a total of 54 subareas. Each area is led by a president and each subarea by a coordinator. In addition, there are managers within each area or subarea. Presidents, coordinators and managers are part of the panels of each area and subarea. In total, there are more than 250 people who collaborate with the AEI during a period that has an indicative duration of three years. We refer to these people as AEI collaborators. This figure is regulated in article 19 of Law 14/2011, of June 1, on Science, Technology and Innovation, which refers to scientific and technological collaborators.
Next, the areas, subareas and collaborators that make up your panels are presented.
The Social Sciences Area includes research on the practices and processes observed in human societies. In particular, it studies social relations between individuals, groups and institutions and with the space and physical environment in which they operate. The social sciences approach human behavior with quantitative or qualitative methodological tools that make it possible to explain and understand the various aspects that facilitate or compromise the continuity of life in society. These studies are based on a solid empirical foundation that allows the development of innovative theoretical proposals. They are related to the disciplines of Sociology, Social Work and Social Services, Social Anthropology, Political Science and Administration, Public Policy, Journalism, Audiovisual Communication and Advertising, Library and Information Science, Human Geography, Regional Geographical Analysis, Demography, and Feminist, Women's and Gender Studies, among others.

The purpose of educational research is to generate new knowledge about educational systems and institutions, teaching-learning processes and their organisation and context. Among its objectives is the generation of knowledge based on the description, understanding and explanation of teaching and learning that take place at different stages of life in both formal and non-formal contexts. Research in education can be theoretical and empirical and includes the development of strategies and methods that favour teaching and learning, specific didactics, teacher training, socio-political and technological contexts, institutional actions, orientations and practices of tutorial action.
The proposals to be evaluated in the Educational Sciences (EDU) must explicitly refer to realities, issues, problems, initiatives, studies, etc. that link their contributions to knowledge, innovation and/or the transfer of theoretical or applied knowledge to education in its different areas of application, whether in institutionalised education systems (from early childhood education to university or higher education) or in social, family, community education, etc.
They must be congruent not only with approaches or perspectives that emphasise their educational, training, teaching and learning nature and scope throughout people's lives, but also with the epistemological, theoretical and methodological principles of research in the Education Sciences, with the multiple convergences that may derive from them with the Social Sciences, Health, Humanities and Sport and Physical Activity Sciences.

The area comprises all the research related to the design, preparation, characterization and application of materials. Its central theme is the relationship between structure (at any length scale) and properties. Being a markedly interdisciplinary field, it usually involves in projects that address both theoretical and experimental elements of physics and chemistry, presenting on numerous occasions aspects related to biology and engineering. The objectives pursued are both fundamental, focused on the generation of new knowledge, and applied, aimed at obtaining new materials that can improve people's quality of life.
The subareas into which it is divided encompass, as a whole, practically all of the activity that takes place in our country in materials science and technology, considering that certain areas, such as materials for biomedicine or for energy and environment have common characteristics with the subareas dedicated to functional and structural materials. A large part of nanoscience and nanotechnology research is currently being carried out in the materials area.

The area encompasses research related to ecological and evolutionary processes that have generated the enormous wealth of biodiversity at all levels of organization, from genes, populations and species to communities and ecosystems and their interactions with human activity, as well as in the development of technologies oriented to the management, conservation and restoration of degraded habitats or species in danger of extinction, the valuation of ecosystem services and the capacity to adapt to global change.
Research aimed at the study and development of processes for the evaluation and treatment of air, water and soil pollutants and the evaluation of their impact on different ecosystems, as well as the treatment of waste, the use of natural resources and sustainable management of water resources.
It also covers the basic and technological aspects related to marine systems, both in their abiotic and biotic components and the interactions with the terrestrial and atmospheric systems, including the development of observation tools and platforms and ocean management instruments. and geological and geophysical research of the marine environment. Also of interest are research related to the study of anthropogenic pressures on the ocean and the associated impacts, including the effect of pollutants and processes that operate on a global scale, such as, for example, global warming, rising levels. from the sea, eutrophication or ocean acidification.
Knowledge of the sea requires different scales of observation, from the molecular level to the consideration of ocean basins, and involves numerous scientific disciplines through multi-disciplinary or interdisciplinary approaches. A significant fraction of projects focused on ocean research require the use of oceanographic vessels, which confers a degree of uniqueness to the MAR subarea. All marine research projects that require the use of these infrastructures are channeled through this subarea, with the exception of projects developed in polar areas.
Polar Research Subarea (CTM-PLR). Polar research is characterized by the geography where it takes place and because it is carried out under extreme conditions, which requires the contribution of complex, expensive and specific means (oceanographic vessels and polar bases). Scientific research in Antarctica is carried out under its own special and restrictive legislation, in relation to the protection of the environment. Polar research in general has a very marked international component, which is exacerbated in Arctic research by the absence of Spanish infrastructures in the area. Although research projects cannot include practically all scientific subjects, in general the disciplines included include: geodesy; geology; geodynamics; geophysics; astronomy and astrophysics; oceanography; glaciology and cryosphere; volcanology; geochemistry; atmosphere-ocean interaction; Earth observation space techniques; Modeling; Biology; Ecology; Limnology; microbiology; Faunal studies and natural products; biogeochemical cycles; speciation processes and mechanisms; biodiversity; edaphology; atmospheric physics and climate, human and social sciences includes aspects of humanities, such as polar law, anthropology of northern populations, sociology and psychology among others.
The Earth and Water Sciences subarea (CTM-CTA) integrates research on the various aspects of the earth system, including its history, its current state and its possible future evolution. It includes a wide range of established disciplines such as geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, internal geodynamics, sedimentology, stratigraphy, paleontology, geophysics, geodesy, external geodynamics, geomorphology, climatology, physical geography, limnology, edaphology, hydrology and glaciology. From the CTA subarea, interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged that respond to scientific and technological challenges in current and future socioeconomic and environmental situations. These include those related to: (1) the observation and characterization of the earth system at all temporal and spatial scales, with emphasis on the processes associated with global change, (2) the evaluation and sustainable management of surface water resources and underground, including the characterization of ecological and hydrogeological processes and those that alter the quality of water and the good condition of aquatic ecosystems; as well as the actions / treatments for its recovery (3) the exploration and sustainable exploitation of aquatic, mineral and energy resources, and the use of geological formations as stores of resources, waste and CO2; (4) knowledge of climate change from the perspective of earth sciences, integrating the reconstruction of climate analogues in the past, the characterization of the environmental and hydrological response to climate forcing, the evaluation of the expected geoenvironmental impacts, and the design of mitigation and adaptation strategies; and (5) the evaluation and prevention of natural risks with geological implications in their origin, development or impact, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, mass movements, subsidence, floods, droughts or coastal alterations, as well as the evolution of these risks in the context of global change.

Different international organizations indicate that around 50% of the Earth's surface is dedicated to agriculture, 37% corresponds to forest masses, 12% are marginal lands and 1% represent urban areas. With the growth of the world population, the challenge of humanity is to guarantee a healthy and safe diet through innovative and competitive agriculture and animal production, within a changing global and climate scenario. Research in agricultural and agri-food sciences seeks to contribute to the sustainability and circular economy of agricultural and natural systems, addressing fundamental and directed research. The "Agriculture and Forestry" subarea includes studies of horticultural, herbaceous and woody crops and forest production systems. Includes studies on the management and interactions between soil-water-plant-atmosphere systems in relation to crop production and quality, effects of biotic and abiotic stresses on crops, biological control against pests and diseases, genetic improvement of plants and conservation of plant genetic resources, physiology, nutrition and plant biochemistry, plant biotechnology, molecular biology of plants of interest in agriculture, agroforestry systems, and agrarian economy. The "Livestock and Aquaculture" subarea covers aspects of fundamental and applied research in domestic animal species and those of productive utility, but also, in certain cases, in wild fauna. The methodological approach is multidisciplinary, with a strong role in animal experimentation. It covers research related to the health, production, nutrition, reproduction and genetics of animal species of interest to livestock, aquaculture and wildlife, although pharmacological, toxicological, internal medicine and surgery studies and other related topics are also contemplated. The products of the two previous subareas give rise to a wide variety of foods, being the subarea of "Food Science and Technology" the one that deals with research related to obtaining and preserving food, as well as physical and chemical evaluation and functional thereof and / or their components. The quality, traceability and authenticity of food, as well as food safety are globally addressed. This subarea also includes research related to nutrition, metabolism and functionality of food components, and more specifically, their effects on human health.
