Summary of messages
CIC energiGUNE enters the highly competitive energy research activity with the ambition to excel. Leaning on
support and commitment of Basque institutions, the centre has completed its set up process and faces
challenges associated to its youth and the need to generate local value
• The increase of the speed of development in the business domains is changing the R&D traditional linear and isolated process. Research agents need to
adjust their business models to globalisation, increasing competition for talent and new knowledge generation and transfer dynamics
• In this environment, some international research institutions stand out obtaining relevant scientific production and high impact transfer. They have in
International
common strong public support, employment attractiveness, high performance standards and tech transfer oriented resources, among others
research
dynamics • 6 key research success factors have been identified through the analysis of reference centres’ business models: securement of public support and
financing, development of a unique identity, measurable contribution to local economy, balancing of international and local talent, brand building
through research excellence, and knowledge transfer capabilities and processes. The balancing and adaptation of these factors to specific local realities
can determine the excellence and value generation potential of new research projects
• The Basque Country wants to position itself as a reference Knowledge Economy. The Basque 2015 Science, Technology and Innovation Plan (PCTI)
aims at raising R&D expense up to 3% GDP by 2015, equivalent to €2.400m. The Energy Sector and the Science Industry are to play a key role
Basque energy • Following this line, the Basque Energy Strategy towards 2020 (3E2020) promotes 8 strategic research and industrial development areas (energiBasque)
research as answer to its energetic challenges. Energy specific R&D research is expected to grow from €200m in 2010 to €300m in 2015
framework • Storage is an enabling technology in energiBasque that is expected to play a central role in the development of new energy application based
industries. In the strategy, CIC energiGUNE is to become an international research excellence centre to boost and coordinate the efforts in the area,
and contribute to PCTI and 3E2020 objectives

current situation
• CIC energiGUNE’s current research model is robust on its definition, having a window of opportunity to consolidate as a translation oriented high
impact centre. However, it faces various challenges related to its speed up process
• Considering general research dynamics, the Basque energy research bid and CIC’s configuration stage, 6 strategic challenges have been identified to
be addressed through the 2016 strategy:
Excellence in scientific research and specific niches definition relevant to industry
Challenges and
