Transformative projects

The UGR will be boosted by large-scale transforming projects in which the institution is currently immersed and which should serve as driving force projects to transform it in the next decade, such as UGR-DONES, UGR-AI and UGR-Sustainability, all of them within the framework of the celebration of the V Centenary of the UGR and the Arqus Alliance.

V Centenary Horizon Project

Nearly 500 years have passed since the University of Granada opened its doors to knowledge. During his stay in the city and within the framework of the agreements adopted by the Congregation of the Royal Chapel, Emperor Charles V signed a Royal Warrant on 7 December 1526 establishing the General Studies in Granada. Subsequently, upon the emperor's request and by means of a bull issued on 14 July 1531, Pope Clement VII confirmed the foundation and development of the University of Granada.

Arqus European University Alliance.

The European Universities Initiative is a project of the European Commission that seeks to establish transnational alliances aimed at becoming the universities of the future, to foster the European identity and its values, and to revolutionise the quality and competitiveness of European higher education. These alliances cover a wide geographical area across Europe and are based on a jointly planned long-term strategy that focuses on sustainability, excellence and European values. These partnerships offer studentcentred curricula taught jointly on inter-university campuses, where students can design their own education pathways as well as undertake mobility periods at any level of study. A challengebased learning approach is adopted in which students and teaching staff members, together with external partners, cooperate in interdisciplinary teams in order to address the great challenges of the 21st century.

UGR-DONES Project

Together with CIEMAT, the UGR is implementing in Granada the IFMIF-Dones Particle Accelerator project, which is currently considered an ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) and with a consortium already established for its implementation and execution. This project is part of the EU's ambitious programme to turn fusion as an energy source into a scientific and technological project with an international dimension. View UGR-DONES Project

UGR-AI Project

The project is linked to the resilience project that the UGR has presented, the objective of which is the creation of an "Andalusian Centre for Innovation and Digitalisation: Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Virtual Environments and 5G (CAID)". With a budget of €48.5 million, this project integrates all the research groups specialised in digital transformation from the UGR, as well as groups from the Universities of Jaén and Córdoba.

UGR-Sustainability

This project is connected to the resilience project presented by the UGR "Andalusian Innovation Green Hub on Artificial Intelligence & Geodesign for e-Biodiversity Services - AI2 Green BioHub" which, with a budget of €48 million, brings together the innovation actions in sustainability and ecological transition of groups at the University of Granada, University of Huelva and LifeWatch ERIC. This project builds on a previous important milestone, namely the UGR’s award of a LifeWatch ERIC project: "Thematic Center On Mountain Ecosystem & Remote Sensing, Deep Learning-AI E-Services University of Granada-Sierra Nevada (Smart EcoMountains)".
