Center activities in 2025
Projects
During 2025, CIESOL maintained its research activity through 61 projects. The chart shows the evolution of the number of projects over the last ten years, with an average of around 50 ongoing projects per year. It has also participated in 6 national and 3 international networks. Of the 61 total projects, 17 have been European, 38 national and 6 regional (Andalusia).
Scientific production
The analysis of CIESOL's Scopus profile —934 documents published between 2009 and 2026, of which 764 are articles and reviews classifiable by quartile— confirms a consistently high-quality profile over time: around 8 out of 10 articles are published in first-quartile (Q1) journals, with an almost negligible presence in Q4. Across the historical set (CiteScore), Q1+Q2 reaches 96.3%, and the Q1 share has remained stable (75–86%) for over a decade while the annual volume grew.

Collaborations, agreements and networks
Transfer and outreach activity is also reflected in the sustained growth of collaborations, agreements and networks in recent years.
Staff and training
During 2025, 6 extracurricular internships were offered for undergraduate and master's students, with the intention of promoting an introduction to research within the CIESOL framework. These internships are established with a duration of 6 months and on an annual basis.
Transfer and complementary activities
CIESOL takes part in mobility programs (ERASMUS, Study Abroad), Socrates-Erasmus collaborations with European universities, contracts with companies and training and outreach activities. In 2025, a highlight is the creation of the Green Methanol Chair (11 June 2025), a worldwide pioneer in e-methanol research, joining the AQUALIA Chair of the Integral Water Cycle.
