KnowledgeTransfer Office (KTO)
Nebrija Research Groups are at the core of the University’s research ecosystem. Bringing together faculty researchers and external collaborators around shared lines of inquiry, these groups drive scientific production, research innovation, and externally funded projects across a wide range of disciplines.
In addition, the University is home to two specialized Research Centers that bring together leading experts in strategic fields where Nebrija seeks to strengthen its international impact and academic leadership.
Nebrija’s Research Results Transfer Office (OTRI) was officially recognized as a Knowledge Transfer Office (KTO) by Spain’s Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (MICIU) in June 2024 following a formal evaluation process. The Office also manages the University’s official Registry of Research Groups.
