Research, Transfer and Outreach Management Units

The UGI administers the University's internal research plan and applications for external funding.

The OTC coordinates the relationship between the University, society and business, fostering the transfer of knowledge generated by CEU UCH to society and wealth generators. It does this by facilitating collaboration between the University's research groups, companies and public bodies through establishing research agreements, contracts, patents, utility models, spin-offs, etc. This knowledge transfer occurs by means of CEU UCH's research institutes and research chairs.

From 2024, the OTC is listed on the Register of Knowledge Transfer Offices maintained by Spain's Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.

The UCC+i's role is to disseminate the work of our researchers and to promote interest in R&D&I via awareness-raising activities.

From 2024, it forms part of the UCC+i network set up by Spain's national science and technology foundation, FECYT.

• The UAI provides guidance and support to our researchers regarding internal and external R&D&I funding opportunities and opportunities for collaboration with companies.
