Since the end of February 2003, the ELHUYAR Foundation has joined the Alphagalileo project.
www.alphagalileo.org is a website that publicizes European research. Alphagalileo's objective is to give more importance to the research carried out in Europe and to offer ways to publicize the results of these investigations, since most of them come from the United States. Although the project is led by the British Association, they are currently representing numerous European countries such as: The Suomen Akatemia of Finland, the L’Association francaise pour l’avfunding des sciences of France, the Forschungszentrum Jülich Research Centre of Germany, the National Hellenic Research Foundation of Greece, the Observatorio das Ciências e das Tecnologias, the Swedish Council of Academuncil of,
Alphagalileo is a showcase of research in Europe. In it, researchers have the opportunity to publish their investigations and journalists can get to know them. There are currently 3,771 journalists and 4,723 reporters, including the ELHUYAR Foundation. Approximately 10,000 news, 1,300 events and 350 books are available on the website.

The accession of the ELHUYAR Foundation to the Alphagalileo will represent the Basque Country. Our obligations include the collection of local research news, the dissemination of the service and the translation into Basque and Spanish of the website www.alphagalileo.org. In addition, as a member of the Alphagalileo management team, the ELHUYAR Foundation will participate in the project decisions. On the other hand, in the short term it is expected to sign an agreement with the Pompeu Fabra University of Barcelona for the constitution of a Spanish delegation.
The echo of Basque Research in Alphagalileo

The ELHUYAR Foundation, in June 2002, launched the website www.basqueresearch.com Euskal Herriko ikerketa topagune. Thanks to the Basque Research portal (one of the objectives of Basque Research), the news of Basque research has been sent to Alphagalileo. Several of them have been published on the website www.alphagalileo.org and, from there, have achieved a remarkable echo among the European media. Thus, in December 2002, a report by the Public University of Navarra, the investigation of a solar milk cooling system, was the fourth in the Alphagalileo statistics of December. In the January 2003 list, the study on Inasmet intraocular lenses was the second.
Therefore, starting in February, the ELHUYAR Foundation will go from being a pioneer in the Alphagalileo project to being a decisive part for Basque research to speak and decide in Europe.
