About the Science Foundations Council
In 2014, the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology promoted the creation of the Science Foundations Council to bring together private foundations that work in science, technology and innovation to exchange knowledge, share good practices and create collaborative projects.
The work carried out by these foundations has several benefits for Spanish society overall: encouraging scientific activity by funding research projects; creating knowledge through their research activity; stimulating careers in science and retaining Spanish talent through pre- and post-doctoral contracts; promoting and disseminating scientific knowledge and interest from a young age, encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship.
