Foundation: 1990
Mission: To train, through a rigorous, innovative and personalized educational model, people with solid scientific and cultural knowledge, appropriate transversal skills to adapt to the changes and challenges of society and with the ability to develop their life projects. Become a preeminent research university. We have to be pioneers in scientific discoveries and innovations, and we have to achieve international leadership in our own fields. Promoting innovation and social transformation We have to go beyond the walls of the institution, in order to create synergies with society and thus contribute to its well-being and to the creation of value. Boosting commitment to culture We have to be a 'factory of ideas', that is, a place of debate, discussion and reflection at the service of culture that offers tools to decipher the contemporary world and to participate actively in it.
Vision: A state-of-the-art research university, with a public service purpose, to position itself as one of the most internationally recognised European higher education institutions, attractive to students and to the most talented and committed teachers. A personalized, efficient and adaptable university, that works with efficiency, clarity, rigour and immediacy and that adapts to the context and needs of the community, in order to effectively achieve the results it seeks, but without ever losing sight of its commitment to society. A public university, economically sustainable, to be financed with an adequate contribution of public resources and also with other sources of resources generated by the University's own activity. An urban university, focused on challenges that Barcelona and its urban environment are facing, that takes advantage of the modernity and creativity of a city open to the world as a source of inspiration to influence the transformation of the University.

Subordinate organizations:
The following data gives a quick reading on the scientific performance in the last years. The research ranking refers to the volume, impact and quality of the institution's research output. The innovation ranking is calculated on the number of patent applications of the institution and the citations that its research output receives from patents. Finally, the societal ranking is based on the number of pages of the institution's website and the number of backlinks and mentions from social networks.
The result of the evaluation of the institution can be compared to obtain a view of the country, the region to which it belongs and the institutions of the world, placing it in their respective positions.
We have divided the scientific output of the institution into 19 large areas of knowledge and the following table shows only the ranks in different territorial domains achieved by the institution in each of the areas. For an institution to have a presence in an area, it is necessary that it exceed in the last year a minimum output threshold equivalent to twice the percentage that this area represents in the world. If you need scientific indicators on these areas visit Scopus and/or SciVal.

These are the journals used by the institution's researchers to publish their work in the last year. The size of each circle represents the value of the SJR of the publication, and its spatial position represents its subject matter.
This visualizatión allows you to identify the knowledge areas where the institution has published, recognize the prestige of the scientific journals in which the institution knowledge has been published, and identify predominant scientific communities.
