This Commission began its work on December 11th, 2001 with the aim of contributing to the conservancy and adequate use of biodiversity in Costa Rica and the traditional knowledge associated with it.

To that end, it regulates and controls the access to biodiversity in Costa Rica through the labors of teaching, research, and non-profit social action of the University of Costa Rica.

This Commission is composed of one member of each academic area of the University and a representative of each Academic Vice Rector’s Office.
