The School of Technology and Management considers research to be one of the fundamental pillars of its mission, actively promoting the production of scientific knowledge, innovation and its practical application for the benefit of society. This commitment is reflected in the excellence of the research units associated with our school (CeDRI, CIMO, UNIAG and GICoS), which stand out for their scientific rigour, international impact and strong links with the economic and social fabric of the region, and beyond.

Our Research Units bring together highly qualified, multidisciplinary and dynamic teams that develop cutting-edge projects across several fields of knowledge, particularly in technological innovation, sustainability, the digital economy and applied social sciences. These units are frequently involved in projects funded by national and European programmes, participating in international research networks and collaborating with centres of excellence from around the world.

The school also values knowledge and technology transfer as a key driver of its activities, promoting close collaboration with companies, public and private institutions, and technological centres. This connection to the real world makes it possible to transform research results into concrete solutions, with a direct impact on regional and national development.

We promote a culture of open, ethical and collaborative research, supporting lecturers, researchers and students in the creation of relevant knowledge and its dissemination.

Research at our institution is therefore a driving force for innovation and excellence, strengthening the role of the school as a transformative agent of the region and as a reference within the national and international landscape of higher education.
