KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER The UPC generates knowledge and transfers it to industry with the aim of increasing businesses’ capacity for innovation and competitiveness. One of its most significant lines of work is forging alliances, which are often international in nature, with large companies, institutions and corporations. It also attends to the needs of small and medium-sized businesses that wish to innovate, for which cooperating with the UPC has a multiplying effect. This activity takes shape in numerous agreements and research projects, the creation of technology-based companies, the generation and exploitation of patents and the scientific and technical services and facilities that Parc UPC makes available in order to generate progress and create jobs.

ALLIANCES The UPC has woven, through the actions of the people of which it is composed, a complex network of international alliances with other universities, research institutions and companies. These alliances lead to new projects and are the basis for a good number of initiatives in which the word ‘collaboration’ plays a key part. A global, interconnected world that fosters the sharing of knowledge and experiences is the setting for these alliances without borders.

At the UPC students are trained to become professionals in engineering, architecture, sciences and technology who have the knowledge, abilities and skills to take on new challenges in keeping with technological efficiency and sustainability criteria. The UPC teaches bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees and continuing education courses that are complemented by international mobility and double degree programmes. Students’ participation and leadership in research projects and work placements foster their relations with the world of work and bolster their autonomy and initiative. The University is therefore a space for knowledge that stimulates learning and personal growth with a dynamic, motivating teaching model.

Presence of the UPC in Shangai through SINO Spanish Campus at Tongji University

SINO -SPANISH CAMPUS

CAMPUS SINO -HISPÁNICO

At the UPC students are trained to become professionals in engineering, architecture, sciences and technology who have the knowledge, abilities and skills to take on new challenges in keeping with technological efficiency and sustainability criteria. The UPC teaches bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees and continuing education courses that are complemented by international mobility and double degree programmes. Students’ participation and leadership in research projects and work placements foster their relations with the world of work and bolster their autonomy and initiative. The University is therefore a space for knowledge that stimulates learning and personal growth with a dynamic, motivating teaching model.
