Until June we go

Elhuyar Zientzia

The magazine Elhuyar Zientzia and [then] Teknika began its career as a bimonthly magazine in 1986. Three years later, in 1989, it became a monthly magazine that has been published monthly. Eleven issues a year to socialize science and technology in Basque. Now that we are going to turn thirty, 11 no, we would like to announce that we will be able to publish 12 numbers a year. But the situation is very different and what we have to say is that you will receive the following number, 318, in June, not in April.

So it is. The magazine Elhuyar Zientzia eta [egun] Teknologia will now be published every three months on paper. During all these years, the Elhuyar group has put the money that was missing to cover the expenses of the magazine Elhuyar with the entries. This has acted in response to the social vocation of disseminating Scientific Culture and of carrying out this work in Basque. At the moment, however, he does not see the possibility of maintaining the project to the extent that he has done so far and has decided to reduce the frequency of publication. In June, September and December, three more issues will be published this year.

The economic crisis first paused the advertising bag and smaller subsidies have further weakened the specialized magazine Elhuyar. Unfortunately, the contributions of subscribers and buyers, which are essential, are not enough to sustain the magazine economically.

So things, those of us who are part of the team of the magazine Elhuyar, we are going to dedicate ourselves to what we can do and we will continue working on the collection and dissemination of what happens in the world of science through news, reports, interviews, stories and analysis. We cannot keep the quantity but we do not give up the quality. And we will try to work what you can't on paper through the web and social networks, with the resources available.

Elhuyar magazine has grown in these thirty years thanks to countless collaborators, sponsors, subscribers and buyers. Thanks to everyone and until June.
