El IREC es el primer centro científico español dedicado a la investigación de diversos aspectos relativos a la caza, entendida ésta como un recurso natural renovable. El IREC fue creado el 24 de febrero de 1999 mediante un convenio específico entre el CSIC, la UCLM y la JCCM. Se trata por tanto, de un Instituto Mixto de titularidad compartida entre estas tres instituciones, las cuales se encuentran representadas en los órganos de gobierno del Instituto a través de la Comisión Rectora, quien entre sus funciones ostenta la de apoyar al IREC ante otras Instituciones y Entidades, a fin de conseguir lo necesario para el mejor funcionamiento y promoción del Instituto.
