UAB SPHERE
The UAB-CIE Sphere is a region of excellence, an exosystem of knowledge, in which UAB-affiliated centres co-exist and collaborate to contribute to the socio-economic development of the region. Aggregation represents an increase in critical mass, a sharing of resources, synergies, optimisation of investments and an improvement in the sustainability of the syste,. which results consequently in an improvement in international competitiveness. The It has been defined largely by the important role played by the development of the project "UAB Campus of International Excellence".
