COMPASS Ingeniería y Sistemas is honoured to share that our President, Professor Dr. Eugenio Oñate Ibáñez from Navarra, has been awarded the National Research Award 2024 in the Leonardo Torres Quevedo category. The aforementioned award is the highest scientific recognition granted by the Spanish Government in the field of engineering and architecture.
The award was presented on 4 July at the Royal Palace of El Pardo by His Majesty King Felipe VI and the Minister of Science, Innovation and Universities, Diana Morant. The award ceremony brought together leading personalities from the scientific, academic and institutional world.
An international example in computer engineering
Professor Oñate has dedicated more than four decades to research, teaching and technology transfer, establishing himself as a world leader in the development of advanced numerical methods applied to structural analysis, fluid dynamics, fluid-structure interaction and multi-physics systems.
He is the founder of CIMNE (International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering), an institution with which COMPASSIS has maintained a continuous collaboration since its origin as a spin-off.
A history that also shapes COMPASSIS
Professor Oñate’s link with COMPASSIS is not only institutional, but also foundational. His scientific leadership has been essential in the development of tools such as Tdyn, SeaFEM and RamSeries, which today position us as a leading company in numerical simulation applied to sectors such as energy, transport, naval, offshore, civil and aerospace.
Thanks to his vision, our team has grown around a culture based on technical rigour, continuous innovation and a commitment to the positive impact of engineering on society.
A recognition that also drives us
At COMPASSIS, we celebrate this award as a milestone that inspires us to continue advancing with more determination in our mission: to offer cutting-edge technological solutions that integrate science, engineering and software, with a global and sustainable approach.
Congratulations, Eugenio! This recognition is also a reflection of the legacy you have built and shared with all of us.
