Estuaries are critical transition zones that link marine, riverine, and terrestrial ecosystems, including habitats like intertidal mudflats and tidal marshes. These ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots providing essential ecological functions such as nutrient cycling and pollutant removal. Despite their importance, there is a significant knowledge gap regarding the ecological functioning of these habitats and how they…
The EHU’s Lipids & Liver group discover a key protein in the progression of liver diseases towards advanced stages An international collaborative study has identified the E2F2 protein as a potential new therapeutic target to prevent metabolic fatty liver disease from progressing towards more serious conditions, such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. Metabolic fatty liver…
The Basque Government and IBM have today inaugurated the first operational IBM Quantum System Two in Europe, and the third in the world, installed at the IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computing Center in Donostia/San Sebastián. The installation of this system marks a milestone in the strategic collaboration between both entities, initiated in 2023 under the BasQ –…
This has been carried out within the framework of ReSChape, a European project that analyses supply chain impacts and proposes models to make them more sustainable and resilient.

CIDETEC Surface Engineering drives innovation in durable and efficient electrocatalysts without PGMs, improving seawater electrolysis SWEETHY is a 4-year project, co-funded by the European Union, which aims to develop an innovative electrolysis cell capable of producing 20 g h-1 of hydrogen directly from seawater. The project addresses the challenge of processing impure water by harnessing…
LAPlab investigates the process of learning a language and how speaking several languages delays the onset of diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Before we are born, we are already surrounded by language, but how do we acquire it? How do we go from babbling to communicating complex ideas? These are the questions that the Language…
The IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center was announced in 2023 to foster the use of advanced technologies throughout the Basque Government and the Diputaciones (provincial governments) of its three territories: Alava, Bizkaia, and Gipuzkoa. Its mission is to raise the level of research institutions by expanding international scientific collaborations, conducting world-class fundamental research, and strengthening quantum…
A UPV/EHU research project uses charcoal obtained from Pinus radiata remains to create a hybrid supercapacitor for energy storage. The Solid State and Materials Group has developed a lithium-ion capacitor with electrodes created from discarded wood particles from sawmills, a type of biomass accessible in the Basque Country. Sustainable and economical processes have been used…
