Welcome to the ITBA Research and Doctoral Department.
We promote knowledge and train leaders in research.
Our mission is to promote, disseminate, and support the research, development, and innovation activities carried out within ITBA. We aim to enhance the teaching dimension through the integration of knowledge, interdisciplinarity, and addressing the challenges of knowledge, by positioning our strategic research lines.
The Department, among other functions, works on generating external financing opportunities; on defining and implementing procedures to protect intellectual property rights; and on promoting the commercialization of such rights through licensing and the creation of technology-based companies linked to the University.
