The UB in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA)

Institutional Statement

The University of Barcelona has always considered itself a European university. For this reason, following Spain’s entry to the European Union, the University quickly established itself as one of the country’s leading universities in a number of areas. On the one hand, the University became active in promoting student mobility within the then recently inaugurated Erasmus program; while, on the other, the University’s researchers quickly set about establishing contacts with European universities and research centres in order to participate jointly in the new long-term research funding programs launched by the European Commission, becoming one of the leading universities in terms of number of projects in later programs.
