Mission: BCMaterials, Basque Center for Materials, Applications and Nanostructures, is a research center included in the BERC network (Basque Research Centers of Excellence). BCMaterials' mission is to develop high-quality interdisciplinary research on multifunctional and active materials with advanced properties, from their basic understanding to exploring new applications. Therefore, our mission is to generate knowledge in the new generation of materials, as well as convert this knowledge into (multi)functional solutions and devices for the benefit of society.
Vision: BCMaterials is committed to being an international reference research center in the area of active and multifunctional materials and nanomaterials. Our commitment to society includes not only research, development and technology transfer, but also the dissemination and training of new generations of great scientists. Therefore, we build strong links with local, national and international institutions, organizations and companies to provide our expertise and facilities to explore innovations in materials and related technologies with the highest quality.
The following data gives a quick reading on the scientific performance in the last years. The research ranking refers to the volume, impact and quality of the institution's research output. The innovation ranking is calculated on the number of patent applications of the institution and the citations that its research output receives from patents. Finally, the societal ranking is based on the number of pages of the institution's website and the number of backlinks and mentions from social networks.
The result of the evaluation of the institution can be compared to obtain a view of the country, the region to which it belongs and the institutions of the world, placing it in their respective positions.
We have divided the scientific output of the institution into 19 large areas of knowledge and the following table shows only the ranks in different territorial domains achieved by the institution in each of the areas. For an institution to have a presence in an area, it is necessary that it exceed in the last year a minimum output threshold equivalent to twice the percentage that this area represents in the world. If you need scientific indicators on these areas visit Scopus and/or SciVal.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology | 4460th | 1383rd | 1329th | 545th | 2902nd | 316th |
| Chemistry | 1682nd | 609th | 510th | 159th | 1138th | 138th |
| Energy | 916th | 241st | 198th | 47th | 522nd | 34th |
| Engineering + | 2332nd | 757th | 686th | 174th | 1432nd | 97th |
| Environmental Science | 4005th | 1027th | 1016th | 465th | 2120th | 200th |
| Physics and Astronomy | 1466th | 543rd | 463rd | 95th | 1006th | 77th |
These are the journals used by the institution's researchers to publish their work in the last year. The size of each circle represents the value of the SJR of the publication, and its spatial position represents its subject matter.
This visualizatión allows you to identify the knowledge areas where the institution has published, recognize the prestige of the scientific journals in which the institution knowledge has been published, and identify predominant scientific communities.
