 Presentation
of the organization
|
|

The Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) is a young institution created in 1971 from several Superior Technical Schools and Faculties.
The main business activities of the UPV are:
* Academic Organisation: The academic activities of the UPV take place in seventeen institutions: six Superior Technical Schools, two Faculties, six Technical Colleges and some other private Faculties. Forty-one academic departments carry out teaching and doing research, while other academic activities are managed by ten Technological Institutes of the University. Various departments instruct twenty Master-Programmes, extending the academic activities to specific fields of postgraduate studies.
* Collaboration with Industry and other Universities: The University is engaged in Research & Development Programmes designed to contribute to the implementation of the necessary social and industrial changes in a modern society. The research in the University aims at achieving results in those fields that are essential for society and industries within the framework of the European Union. The target is to deliver know-how to the public sector, services and industries.
* The UPV provides the means, instruments and human resources, both individual and collective, for co-operation among industries, the service sector and other Universities.
* Exploitation of Results: The UPV does not exploit Research & Development (R&D) results by itself. Its policy is that R&D carried out at UPV should be transferred to companies under commercial conditions, so that they may exploit these results. For that purpose an active technology transfer unit (Technology Transfer Centre-CTT) is working within the University. CTT negotiates R&D and license contracts with companies, carries out the financial and administrative aspects of those contracts and encourages the transfer of R&D results to industries.
