CIF has increased and strengthened itsscientific and technological capabilities. Thisexperience makes it easier to reach new fieldsfor R+D in strategic areas for our country andthe region.Since we consider knowledge producedthough R+D a key factor to development,therefore, our efforts are concentrated on theeconomic, environmental and social impactsderived from our activities.
