DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTITUTION: CIC energiGUNE is a research center specialized in energy, electrochemical storage (batteries and supercapacitors), thermal energy solutions, and hydrogen. It is a member of the Basque Research and Technology Alliance - BRTA and a strategic initiative of the Basque Government. CIC energiGUNE is a reference in knowledge transfer and was created in 2011 to generate fundamental excellence knowledge useful for the Basque business network. The center has a dynamic research team of more than 130 researchers and is extremely well equipped with a wide range of up-to-date facilities that are fully available to the research community. In 2019, the European Commission awarded CIC energiGUNE with the HR Excellence in Research label, reflecting the center's commitment to fair and transparent recruitment and appraisal practices, certifying its salutary work environment.
