Zusammenfassung:The Granada group in BNCT research is currently performing studies on: nuclear and radiobiological data for BNCT, new boron compounds and a new design for a neutron source for BNCT and other applications, including the production of medical radioisotopes. All these activities are described in this report. •Basic research activities at two international facilities: CERN and ILL are shown.•Obtention of accurate nuclear and radiobiological data for reducing uncertainties in treatment planning is pursued.•The conceptual design of a facility for BNCT and isotope production is described.
