IKUR strategy
The IKUR 2030 Strategy is an initiative of the Department of Science, Universities and Innovation of the Basque Government that aims to develop the 4 scientific areas that it considers strategic for the future of the Basque Country:
- Neurobiosciences: Development of advanced diagnostics and therapies to treat neurological diseases and other disorders.
- Quantum Technologies: Development of cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs to foster the applicability of quantum technologies.
- Neutrionics (neutrons & neutrino): Use of neutron science to characterize and study materials. Neutrino research with a high potential for scientific discoveries and technology transfer applications.
- High Performance Supercomputation and Artificial Intelligence (HPC&AI): Use and extension of the performance of leading supercomputing infrastructures. Intensive use of artificial intelligence as a key tool for scientific breakthroughs.
Through the promotion of these areas, the Basque Government aims to strengthen the positioning of the Basque Country as an international benchmark in Science as well as to develop basic science of excellence with economic and social impact.
To achieve this objective, the IKUR Strategy is built on three pillars:
- The development of research projects of excellence
- The creation of cutting-edge infrastructures
- The attraction and incorporation of talent
