PARTICIPATING PARTNER ORGANISATIONS FOR SECONDMENTS AND SHORT STAYS
The following list shows the Partner Organisations (PO) that have agreed to form part of the ADAGIO project. Each PO offers specific training opportunities in their field of expertise to the ADAGIO fellows. Specific information can be found within each of the partner descriptions. More information is also available on the POs' websites.
ADAGIO fellows will be strongly encouraged to carry out secondments for a minimum period of 3 months and a maximum period of 12 months in one of the partner organisations listed below, or in another partner organisation suggested by the fellow (and approved by the ADAGIO programme) that can be included at any time during the implementation of their project.
The secondment period can be extended if considered beneficial to the fellow’s research.

ES - Basque Centre for Applied Mathematics (BCAM)
BCAM is a world-class research center on Applied Mathematics with a focus on interdisciplinary research in the frontiers of mathematics, attraction and training of talented scientists, development of new numerical and simulation methods, interaction with industry, health and social institutions, and promotion of scientific and technological advances worldwide. Aiming to strengthen the Basque Science and Technology System, BCAM was created in September 2008 by the Basque Government through Ikerbasque, the Basque Foundation for Science. The University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and Innobasque joined BCAM as founding members and the Biscay Regional Government joined later as institutional member. BCAM is part of the BERC (Basque Excellence Research Centres) network. Located in the Basque Country, it benefits from a long industrial tradition, and is linked with the French Atlantic corridor, a region of excellence tradition in Applied Mathematics. This context facilitates the task of building an excellence research center.
Starting in 2008 with 3 Professors and 1 research line and, up to 2021, with more than 120 researchers (Professors, Postdoctoral Fellows, PhD students and External Scientific Members), a high number of visiting fellows and interns, integrating people from more than 25 different countries, the center has accomplished a long and intense path, full of high-quality scientific activities and hard work. BCAM is a young center where the average age of researchers is lower than 35. Since its creation, BCAM has pursued a clear policy of international cooperation, often channelled through scientific collaborators working on different lines and belonging to BCAM teams, which has yielded results through articles and workshops, etc. Moreover, BCAM’s Scientific Advisory Committee is playing a major role in the center’s internationalization strategy.
In 2014, BCAM achieved its major collective goal in a competitive call: the accreditation as a Severo Ochoa research center. BCAM is already the main reference for applied mathematicians in the Basque Country and thanks to the Severo Ochoa grant, BCAM aims to reinforce this position at a national and international level so as to become an obliged reference of Mathematics and Industry in Europe. BCAM obtained this accreditation for the second time in 2018.
One of BCAM’s priorities is to attract the most highly qualified researchers and encourage their potential at all the stages of their careers, thereby consolidating its position as an authentic place of excellence training at all levels, as well as being a catalyst and driving force for the individual careers of all those who have opted for the center. All of this is designed to take place in the various spheres of Applied Mathematics, which cover a wide range of subjects from modelling and mathematical analysis to numerical simulation and the development of relevant codes for the solution of problems with an industrial application.
