BCMaterials

BCM (http://www.bcmaterials.net) is an autonomous research center launched in June 2012 by Ikerbasque, the Basque Foundation for Science and the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), aimed at generating knowledge on new generation materials, as well as turn this knowledge into the next generation of (multifunctional) solutions and devices for the benefit of society. In this way, materials are developed, evaluated, understood, and implemented for devices like sensors and actuators, critical for the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 paradigms that shape modern technological paradigms, along with drives, materials for advanced manufacturing applications, and materials for medicine, among others. BCMaterials is one of the newest research centers in the science and technology network, and is embedded in clear growth in both productivity and impact.
