Ikerbasque Basque Foundation for Science celebrates 15 years strengthening science in the Basque Country and from the University of Deusto we join the celebration of its anniversary. The Rector, Jose María Guibert, participated on November 28 in an act presided over by the Lehendakari and which brought together representatives of the Universities, research centers and technology centers of the Basque Country. During this time, Deusto has welcomed 11 researchers who have worked and are working to strengthen our scientific system and provide solutions to global challenges through innovative research with social impact.
Currently Deusto hosts 4 Ikerbasque researchers and a fifth one will join in 2023.
Rocío García Carrión, Ikerbasque Associate and Beneficiary of the Ramón y Cajal program, is the new Secretary General of the World Education Research Association WERA. Member of the eDucaR research team, Rocío is the coordinator of the European project SCIREARLY, funded by the European Commission within the Horizon Europe program, that since November 2022 seeks to reduce low performance and school dropout in Europe.
Antonio Masegosa, Ikerbasque Associate and principal investigator of the Deusto Smart Mobility research team, leads in Deusto another Horizon Europe project funded by the European Commission and which has also started this month, the SOTERIA project, on the deployment of safety solutions in complex urban environments for ageing and vulnerable societies.
Ernesto Panadero, Ikerbasque Associate, is the Principal Investigator of the Regulated Learning & Assessment (ERLA) research team and one of the researchers highlighted by the 2022 update of the "Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators" published by Elsevier of the world's most impactful scientific staff.

In March 2023 he will rejoin Deusto and combine his Ikerbasque Fellowship with the Ramón y Cajal programme.
In 2023 Irene de la Cruz Pavía will join Deusto Communication research team. In addition to being an Ikerbasque Fellow researcher, she is also a Ramón y Cajal 2021 fellow. Irene will join the list of Ikerbasque researchers who, from Deusto, contribute to generating science that helps advance towards a more sustainable, inclusive and fair society.
