Research At UPF

With a view to promoting research and giving it greater international visibility, the UPF has decided on a strategy involving the creation of three science parks in its specific knowledge areas:

• The UPF Social Sciences and Humanities Research Park (Social sciences and humanities);
• The Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) (Biomedicine); and
• The Barcelona Media Park (PBM) (Information and communication sciences and technologies)

The University articulates this high-level research through eight departments and four university research already mentioned. Parallel, and gradually, the UPF has also been participating in a set of institutions and centers specializing in teaching, research and transfer that have legal personality and which comprise the UPF Group. This set of institutions allows the UPF to be present in highly specialised areas of research, often in collaboration with other institutions and universities, and to offer its research teaching staff the possibility of carrying out their research in excellent conditions and facilities. Thus, in the field of research and transfer, plus the three science parks include the Municipal Institute of Medical Research (IMIM) - Hospital del Mar, Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE) (CSIC-UPF ), the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), the Institute of Territorial Studies (IET), the Research Centre for International Economics (CREI) and Fundació Barcelona Media (FBM).
