Research at IQS

Research is one of IQS’ main activities as a university institution, as well as teaching and knowledge and technology transfer.

The publication of scientific articles, the elaboration of doctoral thesis, the organization and participation in congresses, applications for patents and dissemination activities to the general public are some of the forms in which IQS transfers its generated knowledge to society. The impact of university research results on society affects the quality and prestige of IQS.

The Ramon Llull University Research Portal allows diffusion of research carried out at IQS in a global manner, on an individual level for each researcher, and also on various levels of grouping (research groups, departments, faculties, etc).

IQS lecturers and researchers are organised into research groups based on common interests in certain scientific fields. They work together on established research lines and also collaborate with external researchers from other universities, research centres and other entities or companies.

Scientific and technological research is one of the activities of IQS as a university centre. It is part of our mission to contribute to science and technology for the economic and social progress. Thus, we make our knowledge, experience, infrastructures and capacities available to society in order to develop RDI projects that allow us to generate new technologies, products and processes for industrial application to improve the level of sustainability, welfare and social prosperity.

Most of our research projects are funded by various public entities or private foundations.

The consolidated collaboration of IQS with the industrial and business environment is materialised through the provision of technology and knowledge transfer services. With this type of solutions we aim to respond to their needs and technological challenges.

This collaboration is based on the scientific and technological knowledge of IQS professors and researchers, the potential of our facilities and equipment, but especially on the trust that our clients repose in the technical competence and quality of the services provided.
