Literature and Science in Ancient Mesopotamia

Literature and Science in Ancient Mesopotamia


The research of the group "Literature and Science in Ancient Mesopotamia" lies within the field of ancient Near Eastern languages and cultures; we are both renowned Assyriologists specialised in the history, religion and society of the people that inhabited ancient Mesopotamia. Our research focuses on the study of cultural and historical phenomena, their description, analysis, and interpretation as manifest in the various Sumerian-Akkadian literary, scientific and historical genres.

Organometallic Synthesis and Catalytic Applications (OSACA)

Organometallic Synthesis and Catalytic Applications (OSACA)


The Organometallic Synthesis and Catalytic Applications (OSACA) group was created in 2017, and has its origin in the former group Organometallic Chemistry and Homogeneous Catalysis, initiated in the mid-1980s by Prof. Ernesto Carmona. The OSACA group develops several research lines dedicated to the study of organometallic processes and the synthesis of homogeneous, heterogenized and colloidal metal-based catalysts, aiming to develop more efficient and sustainable chemical processes for organic synthesis and hydrogen-storage.

Sustainable and advanced construction

Sustainable and advanced construction


The aim of Sustainable and Advanced Construction group, is to explore the limits of knowledge and construction technology in order to propose new materials, products and construction systems that have advantages over existing ones, under the premise of being more sustainable. Advanced and sustainable construction must be seen from a broad point of view that includes the development of new construction tools (materials, processes and services) with better performance, functionalities (multifunctional) and capabilities, oriented to satisfying the well-being of the user and the society always in

Applied viticulture and enology (VIENAP)

Applied viticulture and enology (VIENAP)


The research group was created in February 2018. At present, it is formed by a staff scientist, a post-doctoral researcher and by one predoctoral contractor. The rest of the staff is hired for work and services in charge of collaborative projects with companies in the sector and a national project. Currently VIENAP group is focused on the study of viticultural and oenological techniques that improve the quality of grapes and wine.

Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics


We are a cohesive group of scientists, instrumentalists and industrial partners involved in major challenges in the fields of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics. Our research activities include the analysis of large-scale galaxy clustering measurements, the production of accurate cosmological simulations and galaxy mock catalogs and the development of instrumentation and databases for Big-Data galaxy surveys. Our network’s expertise supplies a detailed interpretation of the survey results and provides new insights into the physics of the cosmos and the nature of dark energy.

Molecular Spectroscopy Group - Microwave

Molecular Spectroscopy Group - Microwave


We are part of Physical Chemistry Department at University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and Biofisika Institute (CSIC – UPV/EHU). Our research focus on the accurate structural characterization of biomolecules and molecules of astrophysical interest and its molecular interactions by state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques in the gas phase. Our research encompasses different methodologies ranging from the microwave spectroscopy, laser spectroscopy and computational modelling. The group has an extensive network of national and international collaborations.
