Aeroports de Catalunya and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have signed a collaboration agreement to jointly carry out teaching, research and technology transfer activities in the field of aeronautical management and airport infrastructure. In this way, Aeroports de Catalunya expands ties with the universities of Catalonia that provide, within their curricula, training in aeronautical management in different fields.
In terms of teaching, the agreement will promote the proposal of final projects on topics related to aeronautical management and will promote the external academic internship programme for UAB students within companies in the aeronautical sector through paid internship agreements.
With regard to research, the agreement foresees collaboration in the definition and proposal of doctoral theses within the industrial doctorates programme and joint participation in calls for funding for research, innovation and transfer projects, as well as the general implementation of research and transfer activities in the areas of management, airport services and infrastructure.
Last November, Aeroports de Catalunya signed an agreement with the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC) to carry out joint actions in teaching, research and technology transfer in the fields of aeronautics and space through the Castelldefels School of Telecommunications and Aerospace Engineering.
