Research Activities

Along with education, research is one of the core activities at UPC and it has a high priority at EETAC. The school is continuously developing programmes and environments in order to improve scientific production and attract national and international researchers of a high standard.

Research at UPC is organized into departments which develop various fields of knowledge. The departments themselves are organized in specialized research groups.

Research carried out at EETAC is predominantly in the fields of information technology, design of communication systems, microwave active devices, intelligent sensors, broadband networks, security and networking, photonics, electronics, materials, microgravity, air navigation and satellite systems.

However research is not only conducted by the research groups within the UPC departments, but also at the several research centres and companies at the Mediterranean Park of Technology. Moreover, students can collaborate doing internships, acting as a multidisciplinary platform for researchers from industry and academia to meet.
