The Severo Ochoa Excellence Program recognizes those institutions that are defining the global scientific debate. It is sponsored by Spain's State Research Agency (Agencia Estatal de Investigación - AEI).
In the latest accreditation, the AEI granted this distinction to only nine research centers in the entire state across all fields of scientific investigation.
The BSE has been accredited as a Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence in all three editions of the program (2012-15, 2016-19, and 2020-23). For each edition, the BSE submitted to a rigorous accreditation process that examined the research output of the entire BSE research community during the previous period.
“Being named part of the selective group of research centers to obtain the Severo Ochoa accreditation is public recognition of the excellent standards in frontier research that are an integral part of the BSE academic community.”

Director of the BSE
