Foundation: 1946
Mission: As a public institution, to promote the training of people and the construction of scientific and technical knowledge and skills of world reference, according to solid ethical, socio-environmental and cultural principles. The contemporary University cannot fail to fulfill functions, anticipate and meet the demands of global society that are renewed, changed, expanded and require, above all, new institutional skills (understood as the technical and ethical capacity to respond to such requests and anticipate them) that need to be developed as a lasting institutional project, without, however, abandoning the demands of moral responsibility, care for the environment and respect for cultural diversity as foundations for a more equal, responsible and fair social coexistence.
Vision: To be a world-class university committed to the transformation and development of humanity. The notion of Humanity, adopted here, does not refer to the numerical set of men and women (demography), but to a set of values that we suppose to be valid, necessary and worthy to be pursued, such as otherness, justice, human dignity, the right of peoples, freedom, cultural differences. A university committed to this vision is necessarily 'world class', which means at the same time two things: situated among the best in the world and prepared to place the 'world' (as the world of human meanings, like the senses that people attribute to their experiences) at the centre of their concerns.

The following data gives a quick reading on the scientific performance in the last years. The research ranking refers to the volume, impact and quality of the institution's research output. The innovation ranking is calculated on the number of patent applications of the institution and the citations that its research output receives from patents. Finally, the societal ranking is based on the number of pages of the institution's website and the number of backlinks and mentions from social networks.
The result of the evaluation of the institution can be compared to obtain a view of the country, the region to which it belongs and the institutions of the world, placing it in their respective positions.
We have divided the scientific output of the institution into 19 large areas of knowledge and the following table shows only the ranks in different territorial domains achieved by the institution in each of the areas. For an institution to have a presence in an area, it is necessary that it exceed in the last year a minimum output threshold equivalent to twice the percentage that this area represents in the world. If you need scientific indicators on these areas visit Scopus and/or SciVal.

These are the journals used by the institution's researchers to publish their work in the last year. The size of each circle represents the value of the SJR of the publication, and its spatial position represents its subject matter.
This visualizatión allows you to identify the knowledge areas where the institution has published, recognize the prestige of the scientific journals in which the institution knowledge has been published, and identify predominant scientific communities.
