The UB and the UPC present the Barcelona Knowledge Campus, a joint effort to boost excellence

The University of Barcelona (UB) and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) present the Campus of International Excellence project known as Barcelona Knowledge Campus (BKC). The BKC aims to become the driving force of scientific, social and business activity in the Barcelona region by merging the capabilities of the two institutions. The project is based on the prioritization of internationalization by the two universities and on plans to introduce changes to the current economic model that will transform the setting in which both institutions work. The joint capabilities integration of the UB and the UPC in this setting is the result of the activity carried out by 314 research groups, 6,800 researchers, 23 scientific and technological institutions, and 47 private companies. The presence of the Barcelona Science Park of the UB, and of the Research and Innovation Park of the UPC, make the project the focus of attention of researchers around the world.
