Research, Development and Innovation (R&D&I) are key to the development of our society. Both at a private and institutional level, it represents one of the best investments an organization can make. It will translate into progress, process improvement and environmental evolution.

Countries that invest more in R&D&I see it pay off in economic growth, talent retention, technological advances and improvements in the quality of life of their citizens. The same is true of companies that include research and innovation in their strategic plan, which will undoubtedly be ahead of those that do not, as they anticipate the needs of their consumers. 

It is no coincidence that countries such as Switzerland, Austria, the United States, China and Japan are at the top of the list in terms of economic growth. It is estimated that every euro invested in science can yield returns of between two and ten times more.

In this regard, being able to count on professionals capable of leading projects to make an excellent management of resources and to know the best ways of financing, both public and private, is one of the best alternatives in any institution.

In the BISITE Research Group we have many years of experience in this field and we want to contribute to the training of specialists capable of directing and coordinating the best strategies for institutions of any kind.

The Master in Knowledge Transfer and R&D Management of the University of Salamanca will enable you to achieve the necessary skills and knowledge to manage people and interdisciplinary work teams and to evaluate the most appropriate planning and project management techniques for an organization.
