• Historia

Follow the broken path in recent years, that is, continue to develop multimedia products with increasingly complete and attractive materials in the computer section, on CD-ROM support or on the DVD later. These products will be generic in terms of their content (generated in some cases and complemented with the adaptation of works of foreign houses with experience in this matter) and, although they are suitable for use as auxiliary material in teaching, they will address the needs of a wider group of users, not only for economic reasons but especially for reasons of social profitability. Elhuyar's goal is for these products to reach as many people as possible.

On the other hand, and always within multimedia, we consider it of great interest that Basque companies can offer their presentations and product catalogues that they produce through these new technologies, so we will also address this new activity. At the same time, we cannot forget the widespread Internet network that exists today and, as we believe that Elhuyar has something to offer in this network, that is another of the great challenges that we have in the medium term: to offer the possibility to consult our databases and the magazine through the network. These are the ones we already have in mind, but we must not forget that the speed of computing is increasing and that the innovations that occur must be addressed before it is late. We have no easy challenge, nothing!
