1. WELCOME

Dear collaborator:

May I welcome you to the National Agricultural and Food Research and Technology Institute, a Public Research Institution in the State Secretariat for Research, Development and Innovation, in the Ministry of the Economy, Industry and Competitiveness.

Our mission is to generate and transfer knowledge to deal with the challenges of the food and forestry sector and contribute to the promotion of innovation in the companies that make the sector up, while supporting and advising the Spanish administrations.

This manual has been prepared to provide you with basic data on this institution, and the places where you can enlarge the information you may need. This is intended purely to facilitate your integration into the organization and your work station or area of collaboration. Once there, you will receive more precise and specific instructions on the task assigned to you.

We hope your time in the INIA proves beneficial to you and to the organisation.

We trust you will be happy with us.

Cordial greetings,

INIA management

2. GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction

The National Agricultural and Food Research and Technology Institute, the INIA, is an autonomous Public Research Institution (OPI) attached to the State Secretariat for Research, Development and Innovation, in the Ministry of the Economy, Industry and Competitiveness. It is the General State Administration’s only public research institution dedicated exclusively to agro-food and forestry research.

It was created in Decree-Act No. 17/1971 of 28 October which modified modifying the institutional administration of the Ministry of Agriculture and authorised the Government to restructure the Department as a result of the merger of the National Agronomic Research Institute, the Forestry Research and Experiments Institute and the Animal Biology Trust.

Approximately 830 people work in the INIA (mid-2016 data), distributed as follows according to the field of work and the areas of jurisdiction:

To promote cooperation and coordination of research in agriculture and food, in particular with the Autonomous Communities through the Agricultural Research Coordinating Commission.

To represent Spain in scientific and technological Bodies in agricultural and food research, and encourage national and international cooperation.

Fields of activity

The INIA is active fundamentally in 3 fields:

a) As Public Research Institution

The Institute engages in R+D+i in the following areas:

Plant Production and Protection.

Animal Production and Health.

Forestry.

b) As national coordinator in agro-food research

The INIA identifies this country’s future agro-food research needs, which must be dealt with via agricultural research, using these data to establish the priorities which will be the focus of agro-food research projects in Spain.

It also promotes collaboration between research groups and between researchers and companies, in public–private collaboration forums specialised in thematic areas or specific problems.

The INIA is responsible at the national level for coordinating agro-food research, operating closely with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food and Environment and the General Directorates with authority in this field in the Autonomous Communities, setting up an Agricultural Research Coordinating Commission to identify research, development and innovation priorities in the agro-food sector and assessing opinions of common interest.

c) Internationally

The INIA is the body representing agro-food research in the European Union before both the Directorate-General for Research and the European Commission’s Standing Committee on Agricultural Research (SCAR).

In this area of the European Union, the commitment is maintained to divulge and enhance the participation of Spanish research groups in Horizon 2020 projects through the National Contact Point and the permanent INIA office in Brussels.

Also of note is the INIA’s scientific and technological cooperation with Latin America in a permanent forum with the counterpart INIAs and as a member of the Regional Agriculture and Livestock Technology Fund (FONTAGRO) for the financing of R+D projects in areas of interest for the region.

It is also actively engaged in strategic programmes with the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), an international network dedicated to eradicate world hunger and poverty.

The INIA also pursues training activities of an international character, focusing on cooperation with less developed countries.

5. SAFETY AND OCCUPATIONAL RISK PREVENTION

24 INIA WELCOME MANUAL

5. SAFETY, AND OCCUPATIONAL RISK PREVENTION

The INIA Prevention Service integrates occupational risk prevention into its general management system.

All the responsibilities and functions of the various hierarchical levels are set out in the INIA Occupational Risk Prevention Manual, available in the Section on Occupational Risk Prevention on the Intranet:

http://www.inia.es/inia/index.jsp?pageToLoad=INTRANET

The preventive organization is handled by an In-House Prevention Service dealing with 3 of the 4 preventive specialties:

- Occupational Safety. - Industrial Hygiene and Ergonomics. - Psychosociology.

The specialty of Occupational Medicine is implemented by contracting an external Prevention Service which, among other things, periodically monitors employees’ health, in accordance with the job they hold.

INIA’s Safety and Health Committee is a collective participative body for regular and periodic consultation of the Institute’s activities in the field of Occupational Risk Prevention. Its role is to facilitate exchange of points of view between the parties, creating a stable forum for ordered dialogue. It meets at least quarterly, or when requested by one of the parties.

Gender-Equality Policies

The INIA has had an Equality Plan in place since December 2012:

http://www.inia.es/gcontrec/pub/Plan_de_igualdad_2013-2017_INIA_1391765889843.pdf

In this connection, there have been a number of training sessions with essential content on “Gender Equality” in which INIA personnel have participated.

In addition, an INIA Delegated Equality Commission has been set up to promote, divulge, report and negotiate any questions, strategies, plans and measures designed to advance in equality of treatment and of opportunity among the women and men of the Institute, thereby avoiding any form of gender discrimination in work relations, and integrating the gender perspective into all the Institute’s activities.
