The Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) is comprised of more than 20 faculties, with approximately 40,000 students, primarily centred on technical studies.
The mission of UPM is to provide education for its students, preparing them for professional practice and instilling in them ethical values, responsibility and awareness of social problems and the challenges faced by humanity.
The university supports, shares and publishes scientific research, technological development and artistic work, with the aim of creating a fair and secure society, and improving the well-being of current and future generations.
It is an enterprising university, committed to the creation of wealth as well as the social and cultural development of its surroundings.
Since the late 1990s, UPM has promoted applied research in human development. As a result, a number of research groups were created in the field of human development.
In 2010, the Master in Technology for Human Development was launched – which in 2016 became the Official Joint Master in Strategies and Technologies for Development, together with the Complutense University of Madrid.
In 2012, the Centre for Innovation in Technology for Human Development (itdUPM) was formally created.
In 2016, the UPM joined the International Sustainable Campus Network (ISCN), comprised of universities from over 20 countries to incorporate sustainability into research, teaching and the campus itself.
