Dr Martínez Vassallo is currently a research manager at the Spanish Institute for Agricultural Research (INIA). He has been involved in developing agricultural research policy priorities since 1988 and, because of his previous positions (as deputy director of INIA), he is well aware of the agricultural research situation in other European countries.
