Carolina Mañoso Gimeno

I am a graduate in International Relations (2017) with two masters in Diplomacy and International Public Function (2019) and in Corporate Communication, Protocol and Events (2023). I come from the field of social sciences and have developed my professional career in project coordination, communication and collaboration between different actors, initially in the field of international cooperation and the defense of human rights, and more recently in the field of nature conservation and ecosystem management.

I am currently part of the Water and Global Change research unit at CREAF, where I work on the Carbon 4 Soil Quality Plus and Community 4 Nature projects, from the Interreg Euro-MED program. My contribution focuses on facilitating the transfer of scientific knowledge and the involvement of different actors, creating links between institutions and projects that work for conservation. The projects address, from complementary perspectives, the improvement of soil quality and carbon sequestration, as well as governance for adaptation to climate change and the conservation and restoration of natural heritage in the Mediterranean.

I am especially interested in working at the intersection between science, public policies and society, promoting collaboration between researchers, administrations, entities and local communities to move towards a more sustainable management of ecosystems and natural resources.
