Own research centres

The Universities Organic Law, at section 40, establishes the possibility for universities to freely create their own research centres in order to perform diverse functions such as:

• Act as instrumental support and services centres for research group activities.
• Permit small scale economies to use big infrastructures and high tech equipment.
• Integrate and focus research resources and capacities towards areas that are of interest to the university.
• Consolidate research units, which by supporting research groups, enable an increase in R&D&I quality.

 

The own centres of the University of Vigo are as follows:

• Scientific and Technological Research Assistance Centre (CACTI)
• Toralla Marine Science Station (ECIMAT)
• Research Transfer and Innovation Centre (CITI)
• Technological-Research Industrial Centre (MTI)
• Biomedical Research Centre (CINBIO)
