Maria Luisa Tello Mariscal

PhD in Agricultural Engineering, I have been working on scientific research for more than 30 years. I worked as principal researcher and Research Director at Madrid Institute of Agricultural Research (Madrid, Spain). For the last 14 years, I have been working at the National Institute of Agricultural Research (INIA-CSIC, Madrid, Spain) as Head of the Coordination in Agricultural and Forestry R&D Areas.
Among my functions are the coordination and monitoring of research activities, scientific project evaluation and scientific-technical advice to Spanish policy-makers, i.e. Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry for the Ecological Transition. In this regard, since 2018 I co-coordinate the scientific evaluation of supranational innovation projects and operational groups of the EIP AGRI. In addition, within EJP SOIL, I have been responsible for the Spanish coordination of WP6 and WP7 and I am currently the National Coordinator. Furthermore, since 2016 I coordinate the Spanish participation in the international Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases, mainly in the Croplands and Integrative Research Groups and the Agroecology and Agroforestry flagship. I also acted as co-chair of the Science to Policy working group and I am a member of the Strategic Plan WG.
Finally, I have been involved in the coordination of other EU initiatives such as EUPHRESCO, PRIMA, ERANETs or FACCE-JPI.
