Our mission

Our mission is to respond from the university to the challenges and opportunities presented by the reality of migration, refuge and international cooperation. We propose a reflection aimed at transforming our social context, where diversity is an opportunity, promoting more inclusive and intercultural societies.

To achieve this, we use research, teaching and social transfer. These are the three main axes that move the IUEM and our university. The challenges posed by the current context of migration and cooperation, complexity and global interconnectivity require today more than ever creative, sustainable and transformative responses.

To achieve this general objective we work with the different departments and units of the university dedicated to communication, sustainability and research.

Sharing and disseminating

Always through teaching

We have extensive teaching experience that we have developed in masters and doctoral programmes, recognised by the European Education Area-EEA and with the Seal of Quality of the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation of Spain, ANECA.
