Building the society
of knowledge
Tradition and innovation
UPM degrees cover all areas of
Architecture and Engineering
in current society in which the
technological advances are
decisive and in which scientists
and engineers acquire greater and
greater responsibility.
As a guarantee of
the training of future
generations, the UPM
combines the four main
functions of a modern
superior education
institution: teaching,
the generation of
knowledge, the transfer
of this knowledge to
the productive sectors
and the dissemination
of the scientific and
technological knowledge
as an exponent of the
overall service that must
be rendered to our society.
Located in the
Greater Madrid area
(Communidad de
Madrid), the UPM
offers its students an
exceptional scientific and
intellectual environment.
The UPM was founded
in 1971 through the
bringing together of all
of the Superior Technical
Schools (Escuelas
INTERCAMPUS
4
Técnicas Superiores)
which until then made up
the Superior Technical
Institute (Instituto
Politécnico Superior).
The University Schools
(Escuelas Universitarias)
were integrated in 1972.
However, the majority of its
Centres have existed for
more than two centuries.
For this reason it is no
exaggeration to state that
a large part of the history
of Spanish technology
of more than one and a
half centuries has been
written by the Schools
of Architecture and
Engineering of the UPM.
The majority of the greatest
figures in Spanish teaching
and research have passed
through its lecture halls as
students or teachers.
In teaching, research and
public service, the UPM
still continues to lead
the way in standards of
excellence.

Route of innovative
research
Every year, la UPM applies for around 40 patents
and receives a similar number of concessions.
These are some of the interventions developed by
researchers at the UPM.
Procedure for
the treatment
of waste water
and contaminated
waste based
on convertible
emerging
macrophyte
cultures
This is a treatment system
based on the use of aquatic
plants. The roots and
microorganisms act as a filter
that eliminates dissolved
organic material as well as
mineral compounds that are
absorbed by the plants. The
patented system, which is less
expensive, has a much easier
implementation, treatment
capacity, and better use of the
biomass formed for energy and
industrial ends.
MedivozCaptura
Management system based
on patient data and the
capturing of audio signals,
electroglotography and
laringoscopy with applications
in the area of otolaryngology,
otorhinolaryngology and speech
training and therapy. This
management tool includes a
potent interface which allows
the storage of clinical data
relative to the patients, from the
point of view of the treatment
of vocal pathologies. The
application allows the capture
and digitalisation of the video
and audio signals of a patient
for their observation and later
analysis and use as a digitalised
signal.
Automatic mechanism and procedure to establish the sex of those
faces that appear in images
This patent allows the automatic classification of facial images according to gender in a
simple way and using fewer computer resources. The industrial applications of this artificial
intelligence technique are those of the market, the measuring of television audiences, the
unblocking of access systems or terminals, the authentication of services, or interactive
outlets.
Ceramic brick with a
hexagonal hollow
This patent resolves the
problem of the transmission
of noise found in traditional
ceramic bricks, with square
or rectangular cells.
The hexagonal hollows
increase the acoustic
absorption in the interior
of the brick without altering
its dimensions, making
the brick muffle the
sound more effectively
and increasing its
resistance.
INTERCAMPUS

E THE STRENGTH OF
COLLABORATION
A medium to establish a strategic and
long-lasting collaboration between
the UPM and business are the
University-Business Chairs. They
constitute a stable commitment in
areas of common interest for the
carrying out of different activities
such as training programs, joint
research projects, or the commercial
exploitation of the results of this
research. The UPM has 80 active
University-Business Chairs.
E ADDED VALUE TO
SOCIETY
Innovation, creativity, technology and
the spirit of business converge in
the Área de Creación de Empresas
actúaupm (actúaupm Business
Creation Area), a program that
promotes the entrepreneurial culture
in the university community. More
than 1,300 business ideas, 112
technology-based businesses and
around 23 million Euros of investment
capital for these businesses, are just
some of the figures that demonstrate
the enormous potential of the
university community of the UPM
and its vocation to contribute to
the generation of a new innovative
entrepreneurial fabric. It is even more
relevant to know that 80% of these
businesses are still around three
years after their creation.

Social commitment
The concept of community extends beyond the
UPM campuses. From the closest places to
the distant regions, students, teachers and staff
put their knowledge, ingenuity and creativity to
work for good causes. Education, research and
dissemination are just the start.
Education without
barriers
To promote a
university free from all
kinds of barrier which
guarantee equality
of opportunity and
non-discrimination
of disabled people
in access, belonging
and progress in
the university
environment, is one
of the lines of action
of the UPM. With this
vocation the Unit for
Attention to Disabled
people was created.
INTERCAMPUS

Another of the objectives of the
UPM is to encourage policies of
gender equality in the University.
Its Equality Unit is in charge of
promoting this equality.
Cooperation for
development
The UPM maintains a sound
and historic commitment to
solidarity and the problems
of development. Multiple
cooperation programs
and activities promote the
commitment of the university
community to less favoured
countries.
Implicated with the world
that surrounds us. By means
of grants and the training of
specialists in Cooperation for
Development, the UPM breathes
a generalised sensitisation into
its students.
Promotion of volunteering
and sensitising actions.
Travel grants are a fundamental
instrument in encouraging the
participation of the university
community in cooperation
activities. In the last eight years
441 travel grants have been
awarded.
Research activities: The
Cooperation Groups make up a
significant instrument to tackle
the problems of poverty. There
are currently 28 Cooperation
Groups at the UPM. In 2012,
the UPM created the Centre
for Innovation in Technology for
Human Development to take
advantage of the synergies
between the different groups
and thus tackle more and more
complex problems and with
greater scope
Sustainable ways
