In 2007, The Basque Government created Ikerbasque to reinforce the Basque scientific system through the attraction, recovery and retention of researchers from all around the world.
The Basque Foundation for Science is a consolidated organization with 373 researchers from 35 different countries, from all fields of knowledge and with a firm commitment to the hiring of female researchers, as well as to promoting the return of Basque researchers who are currently working outside of the Basque Country.
Since the creation of Ikerbasque we have been aware of the importance of our allies, the universities and research centers of the Basque Country, which make it possible for us to achieve our goals and to be a flexible and efficient organization. Currently, our researchers are working in 25 partner institutions.
Ikerbasque want to be a stable yet motivating platform from which scientists and scientific institutions in the Basque Country can continue asking themselves new questions and contributing to the challenge of generating new knowledge. Because without research, there is no development. There is no future.
