Workspaces and event organisation at Biobizkaia

The headquarters of the Biobizkaia Institute is a modern and sustainable building within the HU Cruces hospital complex. We have several rooms with different capacities to serve, mainly, research, technical and research support staff. At important events, these spaces are open to entities, institutions, companies and collaborating organisations.

The auditorium is a functional and modern space, with a minimalist design, with good accessibility as it is located on the ground floor, with a large hall, suitable for the organisation of conferences or events. Capacity for an audience of 60 seated people.

In addition, we have 7 more rooms with different capacities for work.

The events will be held within the Biobizkaia Institute's hours, that is, from Monday to Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and on Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. In the summer period, from June 1 to September 30, this schedule is from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The minimum advance notice for requesting these spaces is at least 1 month prior to the date of the event.

Each request will be studied to ensure that the necessary services, lighting, air conditioning, cleaning and use of technical and support means are available.

For each request, a personalized budget will be prepared with details of the services included, and will be sent to the applicant. Some services may require direct contracting by the organizing entity. The IIS Biobizkaia will provide a list of suppliers with whom the contracting of a catering service can be managed, as well as any additional technical assistance required. These and other eventual services are not included in the applicable rates, and the hiring and payment of these will be the responsibility of the event organizers.

Any damage to the IIS Biobizkaia facilities caused by their use will be the responsibility of the person or entity organizing the event.
