A Campus open to experimentation

Since its recognition as a Campus for International Excellence, the UAB has been involved in developing initiatives to reinforce collaboration between the university and the local government, research centres, organisations and companies in the region, known collectively as the UAB Sphere. In recognition of the move for cohesion, in 2014 the UAB was the first university in Spain to the accredited as a Living Lab by the European Network of Living Labs (EnoLL).

The campus has therefore become a primary are for experimentation, innovation and demonstration for new technologies and methodologies, and also an incubator/accelerator for different types of projects and initiatives, which can then be applied in the neighbouring municipalities.
