The press release is in Spanish.

Gaindegia is in mourning, as its president has died, after almost a year of illness. He took the main responsibility in October 2022 and since then he has become the lever of the observatory's revitalization, until he was diagnosed with an illness last August.

From those of us who make up the Gaindegia's extended family, farewell and honour, friend and exemplary colleague! 

On June 17, an institutional "summit" was held at the Ministry of Economic Promotion of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia to evaluate the observatory, as a continuation of the fruitful meetings held in 2025.

This commission, called "Summit" in the internal name of the observatory, aims to evaluate the work every six months and contribute to the economic support of Gaindegia.

On this occasion representatives of the Basque Government, the Government of Navarre and the three provinces were present, along with the representatives of Gaindegia.

This week, we held 3 gatherings with teachers and researchers from different campuses and faculties of EHU

• Leioa Faculty of Social and Communication Sciences
• Sarriko Faculty of Economics and Business Sciences
• Donostia Faculty of Economics and Business Sciences

The reception we have received has been commendable in the 3 faculties and we wish to do more gatherings like this for our work with the intention of expanding.

The aim of the seminar held on January 23rd in the Lur Berri room in Sara is to present this new DATA PASS (Border and Landscape) and the "harmonized" view of the regional border landscape, in order to encourage approaches and new cross-border cooperation projects around this issue. Anjeles Iztueta (Coordinator of the Scientific Committee) and Miriam Herrero (Technical Secretary) were present.

The images refer to the meetings held by the representative of Gaindegia with the representatives of the main institutions of the Basque Country. We must say that in relation to Gaindegia, although it has been a milestone in our history, an Institutional Committee for Follow-up has been created, currently made up of representatives of the two governments of the peninsula, Pamplona and Gasteiz, as well as the College of the Basque Country on the mainland and the representatives of the three southern provincial governments (Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa).

Gaindegia has presented the Iparralde/Basque Country 2004/2024 statistical report at the social event held at the Estia Institute of Technology in Bidarte.
