Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (UPM): A university committed to technological innovation

摘要

Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (UPM) was founded in 1971 although most of its centers are over a hundred years old, having been founded in the 18th and 19th centuries, and existed independently until they were grouped together in the UPM. The University currently numbers more than 40,000 students, 3,300 faculty members and around 1,000 staff engineers and postgraduate fellows spread among twenty centers. Most UPM centers are located in the urban district of Madrid, at the Madrid University Campus, although some of them of more recent creation are dispersed throughout the metropolitan area.
