The Desertification Research Center (CIDE) is a public scientific research center. Due to our nature as a mixed center, three institutions intervene in our management, the State Agency of the Higher Council of Scientific Research (CSIC), the University of Valencia (UV) and the Generalitat Valenciana (GVA), through the Department of Agriculture, Development Rural, Climate Emergency and Ecological Transition and the Department of Innovation, Universities, Science and Digital Society.
