Training

The ECPU maintains active collaborations with universities and technical training schools hosting internships of Master / Degree students, ERASMUS and other visiting researchers; and supervising Doctoral, Master and Degree theses.

The Unit has signed training agreements with most of the public universities in Madrid and with other national and foreign universities and research organizations such as:

Universities in Madrid: UPM, UCM, UC3M, URJC, UAM
University of the Basque Country (Spain)
University of Salerno (Italy)
Max Planck Institute (Germany)
University of Aveiro (Portugal)
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA)
Fraunhofer Chile (Chile)
Tianjin University (China)
University Malaysia Sarawak (Malaysia)
