Research and Innovation Support Service (SSRI)

We offer specialised technical support to the UPC community, especially to the teaching and research staff, but also to students and administrative staff, through the back office personnel at the Vèrtex building and the front office at the research support units on UPC campuses. We inform, advise, supervise, implement, and support the execution of research, development, and innovation projects through public or private calls, fostering the valorisation of research and economic growth as a driving force for development and improvement in the quality of life of individuals.

The head of the Service is Mireia de la Rubia and the Service is divided into the following units:

  • Institutional Projects Unit
  • International Projects Unit
  • National Projects Unit
  • Contracts, Agreements, and Bidding Unit

Research support units - front office


To carry out our advisory, management and administrative activities throughout the lifecycle of R&D projects, we are organised ourselves into a centralised yet distributed service structure, along with the research support units within the management and support units (UTG) of the campuses and schools.
