Researchers from the University of Granada and RMIT University in Melbourne have developed personalised and low-cost wearable ultraviolet (UV) sensors that warn users when their exposure to the sun has become dangerous.
European Researchers’ Night 2018 got under way this morning, Friday 28 September, under the slogan “Women and men who conduct research for you (“Mujeres y hombres que hacen ciencia para ti”). The event will involve over 500 researchers from Granada—300 of whom are from the UGR—who will conduct fascinating experiments on the streets of the city.
For the seventh year running the UGR will hold its International Days, which will take place on 27 and 28 September, with a view to boosting student awareness of the wealth of opportunities available to them through our international mobility programmes.
The University of Granada, through its General Coordination for Entrepreneurship (UGRemprendedora), will participate in the Erasmus+ BIO-ALL (BIOHEALTH Gear Box Alliance) project, developing a wide range of activities designed to promote and consolidate entrepreneurial initiatives in the biotechnological and health spheres over the next three years.
The University of Granada will coordinate the European H2020 project “Smart Technologies for personAlised Nutrition and Consumer Engagement” (Stance4Health), a landmark initiative that was recently approved for €6.5 million in funding by the European Commission.
Granada will play host to the international Open Symposium of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in May 2019, bringing together over 500 of the most talented physicists on the globe to establish CERN's future research lines.
The 2018 ARWU places the University of Granada in 278th position in the world and as the third-highest ranked University in Spain, with 5 UGR subjects among the top 100, reaffirming its position as an institution at the forefront of national and international research.
This academic year, more than 2000 new international students from over 70 countries will complete studies at the University of Granada, thanks to the diverse range of mobility programmes available at our institution. The Vice-Rectorate for Internationalization will run Induction Days for these new students from 10 to 11 September 2018, and again in January and February 2019.
On 28 September 2018, European Researcher’s Night—an event coordinated by the European Commission—will bring together over 2000 researchers from 8 Andalusian cities to undertake over 400 fascinating activities throughout the region
Within the framework of the “traditional” inter-European KA103 programme, the University of Granada has been allocated more mobility places than any other European higher education institution in 2018. The UGR is also the leading university in the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility Programme (KA107).
