History[]

The Center for Energy, Environmental and Technological Research (CIEMAT) is a Spanish public research institution in energy and the environment. It is attached to the General Secretariat for Research of the Ministry of Science and Innovation.[3][4]

In September of 1948, Francisco Franco, by means of a decree of reserved character, created the Board of Atomic Investigations o Junta de Investigaciones Atómicas (JIA), constituted the 8 of October of 1948 and formed by Jose Maria Otero de Navascués (director-general and president until 1974), Manuel Lora-Tamayo, Armando Durán Miranda and José Ramón Sobredo i Rioboo.
