The University of Zaragoza is the main center for knowledge generation and research, development and technological innovation in Aragon. lts aims include delivering results and research to businesses as well as promoting and enhancing an effective transfer of use to society so that it can be used efficiently and productively.
In this sense, the OTRI – Research Result Transfer Office – promotes public-private partnerships in R&D&I between research institutes, university centers and companies, in order to place the latter in an improved competitive position.
The European Projects Office (OPE) promotes the participation of researchers from the University in European and International R&D&I projects, in collaboration with companies.
There are many established relationships that currently exist between companies and research groups at the University. Relationships that began with minor requests to solve specific needs which have ended up in mutual cooperation, in which the University of Zaragoza has become the “R&D Department” for numerous companies which could not have tackled the technological development and innovation process on their own.
