An encyclopaedia of scientific and technological terms in the Basque language published by Elhuyar, which includes around 23,000 different concepts, can now be consulted on-line, in addition to already being available in book and CD-ROM format since October 2009.

In a statement released by the Elhuyar Foundation, the Encyclopaedia is the first publication of its kind to cover all the fields of science and technology.

The definition of approximately 23,000 concepts, and their corresponding definitions in English, Spanish and French, also includes a number of articles, images and various "support units".

In total, the Encyclopaedia contains information on around fifty different areas of Science and Technology, categorised under specific scientific topics such as material and energy, the earth and health.

More than two hundred experts, working under the direction of Professor Antón Gurrutxaga, have over the past four years carried out all the work necessary to bring the Encyclopaedia to fruition. It can now be consulted on-line at zthiztegia.elhuyar.org.
