Research

We prioritize research with social impact that contributes to the improvement of society in areas in which we are experts: health, education, sport, communication and international relations.

We believe that research lays the foundations for university education. Our research groups are recognized by the Government of Catalonia's Agency for Management of University and Research Grants (AGAUR). We work with academic institutions, government bodies and business sectors, both national and international.

The main lines of research are defined in the Focus Areas established in Aristos Campus Mundus, a project promoted by the Ramon Llull, Deusto and Comillas universities.

These three constitute a Campus of International Excellence and have a cooperation agreement with Georgetown University, Boston College and Fordham University in the United States.
