We promote gender equality, we take science to society and encourage careers in science among young people.

Promotion and recognition of the value of women in science and technology

The Basque Country Technology Park applies strategies with a real favourable impact on equality between men and women, and which are included in their Equality Plan. In addition, it develops activities with far-reaching social impact including the celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, collaboration with the Emakumeak Zientzian initiative, the mentor-based Inspira STEAM project, the Talent Woman Programme or the APTE (Association of Science and Technology Parks of Spain) Science and Technology for Women Programme.

Promoting the culture of science and technology

At the Basque Country Technology Park, we continuously strive to take science and technology to society, creating a space of reference and free-flowing dialogue. To do so, we promote the development and use of disruptive technologies that contribute to drawing attention to and enlightening society about technological paradigm shifts, in areas such as neutronics, drones, 5G, Cybersecurity, ChatGPT and Quantum Computing. In addition, we organise a variety of grassroots events at all the campuses to encourage the coming together of the technological ecosystem and society.

Promotion of science and technology careers among young people

The Basque Country Technology Park works in close collaboration with companies, public institutions and organisations to foster careers in science and technology among young people, with special attention given to the promotion of women and equality of choice and advancement. In addition, the Basque Country Technology Park promotes specific initiatives linked to smart talent management such as the FP/Parke initiative, visits to schools and collaboration with members of academia and the parties responsible for raising awareness about Science and Technology.

Euskera

At Parke we look after our environment, our culture and our language.

At the Basque Country Technology Park, Euskera forms an intrinsic part of our strategy, from a perspective of maximum respect for the local linguistic reality. We prioritise the use of Euskera in our external image and communication, and on an internal level we work at promoting it as a working language. In addition, we actively participate in initiatives such as Korrika, Euskaraldia and Eguneanbehin to reaffirm our commitment, not only in a work environment, but also to society as a whole.

Moreover, we guarantee the linguistic rights of the users and customers of our services, and every day we work hard to increase the use of Euskera and to change linguistic habits. In short, we strive to encourage the use of Euskera as part of our social commitment.
