The financing dedicated to research has increased by 53 % over the last four years, reaching a total of more than 35 million. Funding for such projects comes from a variety of sources including regional, national and European competitive grants, contracts that the university holds with various companies, and funds that the university itself sets aside for research projects.

With these links, research can be done either outside the university or within the university itself. Therefore, s scientific policy has a two-fold objective: On one hand, it aims to encourage the specialization and internationalization of groups and centres with a proven track record in basic, experimental research, linked with the strategic priorities of the region. On the other hand, it also seeks to promote research in the fields of humanities and social sciences, as these are considered to be the areas of greatest importance in the interdisciplinary nature of applied research at our University. An example of how strives to achieve these aims is the university s participation in national and regional programmes. These programmes place researchers in highly recognized research institutions as well as bringing research projects to, such as programmes with Ramon y Cajal Institute, Increcyt and Innocampus. In addition, there is a consistent research programme funded by the university itself. is placed in a excellent position in the main national and international rankings that include R&D+I indicators. This is due to the support of emergent research groups, the training of our personnel, and the amount of grants given to increase the number of researchers in relevant international institutions. In addition, technical and financial advice is given in order to promote s participation in European competitions. Finally, another key factor is the sharing of technology development by with the public and private sector. In the Ranking World Universities 2015 of Times Higher Education (THE), was ranked 724 th in research. In the Ibero-American Ranking SIR 2012, ranks 40 th out of all Ibero-American institutions of higher education. Amongst Spanish universities, it ranks 15 th.
