CSIC

CSIC is the largest public research organisation in Spain and the third largest in Europe.

Our 6000 researchers, located in 130 centres and institutes across Spain give us the capacity to cover all knowledge fields and generate annually close to 20% of the national scientific production and 180 patents. Moreover, we are the first Spanish applicant in the ranking of PCT (international) patent applications.

Over and above, our research capacity is the basis for our contribution to the society via dissemination, training and knowledge and technology transfer to both Spanish and foreign companies through individually-tailored collaboration approaches, including more than 60 patent licenses in a yearly basis.
