Lourdes Basabe-Desmonts, member of the Microfluidics Cluster at the University of the Basque Country (EHU), recently attended an information session on the Innovation Lighthouses (Faros de Innovación) programme launched by the Basque Government.

The session provided an overview of this new strategic initiative, which aims to promote high-impact scientific and technological projects aligned with the main innovation priorities of Euskadi. The programme, running from 2026 to 2030, will support research, infrastructures and innovation strategies through dedicated funding instruments.

The Innovation Lighthouses are part of the Basque Country’s broader science and innovation strategy and are designed to generate cutting-edge knowledge with a clear societal impact, addressing key transitions such as digital, energy, and health challenges.

Participation in this session reflects the Microfluidics Cluster’s active engagement with emerging funding opportunities and strategic initiatives that can foster collaborative research and innovation in microfluidics and related fields.
