Following the elections celebrated in April, Ignasi Casanova has been chosen as new Director of the INTE.

Ph.D. in Geochemistry from the University of New Mexico (USA) and with a degree in Geology from the University of Barcelona, Ignasi took office on May 8, during the ceremony with Francesc Torres, Rector of the UPC.

Ignasi starts this position after the work of Yuri Koubychine, who has been Director of the Institute for the past four years; his term began in April 2014.
