Recognition of excellence

On 31 October, UPF became a Campus of International Excellence, a distinction granted by the Ministry of Education, for its project “UPF Campus - Icària International”, which incorporates new strategic partnerships and is committed to mainstreaming.

The four million euros UPF was to receive for this distinction enabled the development in two phases up to 2016 of the new Research Park - Social and Human Sciences to be built on the Ciutadella campus, with which the structure of three specialized science parks would be completed, corresponding to the three campuses of the University. The new project would bring together university research groups, enterprise, mixed centres and innovation and transfer centres.
