At the Comillas Pontifical University, research is selected and is of a high quality, in order to contribute to the cultural, social, economic and technological development of our surroundings. It is research geared towards innovation and social return, with an interdisciplinary nature, and that is undertaken with our own resources, and also thanks to national and international public tenders and collaboration with the business world.
