Research and Innovation Support Service (SSRI)
The Research and Innovation Support Service (SSRI) provides specialised technical support to the UPC community (especially PDI, but also students and PTGAS) through the staff of the back office (Vèrtex building) and the front office in the research support units (USR) on the campuses. The service provides information, advice, supervision and support in carrying out research, development and innovation projects within the framework of public or private calls. The aim is to promote the valorisation of research and economic growth as a driving force for development and for improving the quality of life.
The Service is organised into the following units:
