The Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) is a public-private research institute in San Sebastián, Basque Country in Spain.
The institute is run by the Donostia International Physics Center Foundation which was established on March 22, 1999 for charitable and welfare purposes as a result of an institutional collaboration between the Departments of Education and Industry of the Basque Government, the University of the Basque Country, the Provincial Council of Guipuzcoa, the City Council of Donostia / San Sebastián, and the Kutxa savings bank[1][2] Over the years, different companies such as Iberdrola or Telefonica have been part of the foundation's patronato. In December 2024 it was announced that IBM joined the patronato.[3] The founder and president of DIPC in Pedro Miguel Echenique.
In 2022, the Basque government gave its support to a major enlargement of DIPC by financing a new building.[4] In May 2024, it approved funding for a new quantum optics lab at the institute.[5]
The DIPC is part of the Basque governement's network of Basque Excellence Research Centers (BERC) since 2008[6] and was accredited as a Severo Ochoa centre by the Spanish national research agency in 2019.[7]
The research done at the institute pertains mainly to the areas of condensed matter physics, materials science, nanoscience, chemical physics. Newer research lines include cosmology and particle physics, as well as biosciences.[8]
As of 2023 DIPC had 216 employees, among them 182 scientists.[9] The center hosts about 200 scientific visitors a year and organizes around 20 workshops and conferences.[10]
Besides scientific research, DIPC is engaged in public outreach and the dissemination of scientific ideas and results to the society at large. In particular, it is organizing since the festival Passion for Knowledge that attracts every three years thousands of participants to scientific talks and demonstrations in San Sebastian's main theatre[11][12] and since 2017 the program Cine y Ciencia (Cinema and Science) in which science-themed movies are presented and discussed jointly with Tabakalera, that started in San Sebastian and whose eighth edition (2025) takes place in five cities in the Basque Country[13]
