The main objective of the Department of Economics is to offer society a high-level university education, based on the teaching and research quality of its teaching staff. This is why we have fostered a working environment that stimulates quality research, that especially attracts young professionals with great potential and that ensures the dissemination of knowledge to society. The result of this philosophy is a workforce that combines national and international origins and training, and that has contributed to a constant increase in scientific production, both in quantitative and qualitative terms.
On the other hand, the Department of Economics has a clear vocation of projection on its territorial environment, of which it has become a point of reference. This is corroborated by the importance of some of the knowledge transfer projects in which the Department has led and/or collaborated, in matters of strategic planning, territorial planning, mobility studies, economic and environmental impact analysis or analysis of public policies, among others.
