The Research and Innovation Support Service (SSRI) provides specialized 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) of the campuses. The service carries out information, advisory, supervision and support tasks in the development of research, development and innovation projects within the framework of public or private calls.
