Basque research and technology, committed to the COVID-19 health alert

With the aim of putting scientific and technological research in the Basque Country at the service of the community, the cooperative research and technology centres that make up the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA) are working in collaboration with the industrial sector, the health authorities and the various public administrations on different projects to reduce the impact of the health crisis caused by COVID-19.

Under the coordination of BRTA, the needs that have arisen in the health sector have been identified and cooperation between the various technology centres has been strengthened, synergies have been created and collaboration has been encouraged in the scientific and research activity of the various actors, in order to provide an effective response to these needs.

In short, it is an alliance of research centres that are deploying their scientific and technological capital at the service of the Basque health system in order to respond as efficiently as possible to the different challenges and needs that the pandemic is posing. This work is being carried out with the cooperation of various laboratories in the Basque science and technology ecosystem brought together as part of the BRTA, as well as with contributions from other players and the business community.
