H2020 Strategy
HE strategy
HORIZON EUROPE
CIC bioGUNE Strategic Plan for Research and Innovation is designed to provide the framework that allows CIC bioGUNE scientists to perform high-quality interdisciplinary scientific research that reaches society, attracts talent and external funding, and permits the center to be internationally recognized.
The alignment with the Plan for Science, Technology and Innovation Euskadi 2030 (PCTI 2030) and the European Research Framework program Horizon Europe, guides the Strategic Plan of CIC bioGUNE towards research of excellence in the field of life sciences. Focus on Personalized Medicine, CIC bioGUNE covers the entire R&D value chain, including technology transfer and commercial exploitation of the scientific results.
CIC bioGUNE emphasizes the effective co-ordination between the different societal stakeholders and rationalizes the available resources providing defined strategies to foster initiatives between private and public actors of different governance levels.
Therefore, with our Strategic Plan for Horizon Europe, we are committed to Excellence Science, Global Challenges, Industrial Competitiveness and strengthening the European Research Area. We fully unroll the potential of our research breakthroughs for the wellbeing of Society.
