Step Inside Where Innovation Begins: Four Leading Basque Centres Open Their Doors
What happens behind the doors of a major research centre? What do the laboratories where new technologies are developed look like? Who are the professionals working there, and which projects are shaping our future?
On 18 and 19 November, you will have the opportunity to discover the answers first-hand. The Aeronautics Advanced Manufacturing Centre (CFAA), CIC energiGUNE, BCBL and CIC biomaGUNE will open their facilities to offer exclusive guided tours, providing visitors with a unique opportunity to explore some of the most advanced scientific and technological infrastructures in the Basque Country.
The initiative forms part of Innovation Spaces (Espacios de Innovación), promoted by the Association of Science and Technology Parks of Spain (APTE), with the aim of bringing science and technology closer to businesses, professionals and the wider public, while showcasing how knowledge is generated to drive innovation and competitiveness.
Four Visits, Four Ways of Innovating
- CFAA – Discover how advanced manufacturing technologies for the aeronautics industry are designed and validated.
- BCBL – Learn how neuroscience studies the brain and language through state-of-the-art neuroimaging technologies.
- CIC energiGUNE – Gain access to laboratories dedicated to the development of new materials and technologies for energy storage and conversion.
- CIC biomaGUNE – Visit a European-leading facility specialising in molecular and functional imaging applied to biomedical research.
Experience Innovation from the Inside
The visits are free of charge, places are limited, and prior registration is required.
This is a unique opportunity to gain first-hand insight into the work carried out at some of the centres that have positioned the Basque Country among Europe’s leading regions for science, technology and innovation.
Open the door to science and discover places that are not normally accessible to visitors.
