DESCRIPTION OF THE LEGAL ENTITY AND ITS MAIN TASKS

The University of Vigo is a public University located in Galicia (Northwest of Spain). UVIGO has placed a considerable emphasis on R&D activities by way of numerous internal funded projects, as well as through its various services and research centres. This support has enormously increased the scientific output and the capacity to obtain external resources. In the last three years more than 950 projects confirm the cooperation of the University with the enterprises and economic associations of the region (Galicia) and the nation (Spain). In the same way, more than 25 national and European patents have been applied by UVIGO in the last years. Moreover, UVIGO participates every year in the Framework Programme and other initiatives of the EU; more than 50 European Projects has been developed since the year 2007 (some of them coordinated by UVIGO), with a return of more than 25 million of euros (including more than 15 projects from H2020).

Researchers from the University of Vigo have built recognised and supported activities, and are well-known by colleagues through their participation in numerous national and international programmes, stays at prestigious European and American Universities, and visits of famous researchers from the international scientific community.

Three research groups of the University are participating in SAFEWAY: Applied Geotechnologies-GEOTECH, Corrosion Engineering and Materials-ENCOMAT, Energetic Technology Group-GTE. These three groups integrate 31 professors and 38 researchers. The three groups are internationally recognized in their respective fields of research and have been awarded by the national governments due to the impact of their R&D&i activities.  In the last 3 years these groups have participated in 6 International projects and 15 national with an average annual income of 983kEUR.
