Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas

Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) is Spain’s national public research organization and the country’s largest R&D institution, with a nationwide network of institutes across major innovation hubs. Many labs are co‑located with universities, hospitals, and science parks, giving partners plug‑and‑play access to advanced facilities, pilot‑scale capabilities, and testing services. Industry collaborates through contract research, sponsored development, and shared core facilities, with pathways into multi‑site European consortia. Research is supported by competitive European programs and Spain’s national funding agencies. A dedicated technology transfer office manages IP, licensing, and spin‑off formation to accelerate commercialization.
