Welcome to our annual report

In 2023 we renewed our commitment to excellence, sustainability and building a better future for everyone

Our warmest welcome,

As a Managing Director of this research center, I am pleased to share the achievements and the progress we have made in 2023. This was a specially important year for IHCantabria because during this time we have held the events that commemorate our 15th  anniversary, a milestone that encourages us to look ahead into the future with even more determination and enthusiasm.

Throughout 2023, we have experienced a significant increase in the number of staff; we have completed over 120 projects in 22 countries and published over 50 papers in important scientific journals, several of which were high-impact journals such as Nature, Nature Climate Change or Nature Communications.

For one more year IHCantabria distinguished itself as a reference in applied research with over 200 people committed to the promotion of innovation and contributing to sustainable development. With this annual report we hope to be able to show that our activities serve as an example of the industry of knowledge with a vision towards green economy, resilience and sustainability. Our institution connects multiple scopes, acting as a bridging agent between the public and the private, thus facilitating partnerships and alliances between the various sectors.

As a way of conclusion, I would like to express my gratitude to all those people who have contributed to the success of IHCantabria and I trust that this report will reflect our ongoing commitment to excellence, sustainability and the building of a better future for everyone.

Sincerely, Raúl Medina
Managing Director, IHCantabria
