Greeting from the Rector

With five and a half centuries of history since its founding in 1474, the University of Zaragoza has always been a beacon of knowledge and progress, combining academic tradition with innovative teaching, advanced research, and knowledge transfer to society.

We are the public university of Aragon and we serve this society, playing a key role in the development and integration of our region, as the main center for university education and research in the Ebro Valley.

Our university is a generalist institution, offering a broad, diverse, inclusive educational program adapted to the challenges of today's world.

Our international standing is also key. The University of Zaragoza is part of the Ebro Valley International Campus of Excellence (CAMPUS IBERUS), along with the Public University of Navarre, the University of La Rioja, and the University of Lleida.

Through this collaboration, we focus on crucial scientific challenges such as sustainable energy, technology for health, food and nutrition, and the preservation of cultural heritage.

Furthermore, our university participates in the UNITA-Universitas Montium European University Alliance, an initiative involving universities from countries such as Italy, France, Switzerland, Romania, Ukraine, and Portugal, and funded by the European Union.

This project promotes the mobility of our university community, expanding opportunities for academic exchange and collaborative learning at an international level.

Research at the University of Zaragoza has grown exponentially in recent years, placing us among the world's best universities in numerous global rankings. We are an institution that promotes basic and applied research, with a strong policy of collaboration with companies and organizations to develop innovative projects that drive economic and social progress.

Our university is also a space for culture, participation, and cooperation. We are committed to serving society, generating knowledge, and educating students who will not only be highly qualified professionals but also conscious citizens engaged with global challenges.

In this context, the University of Zaragoza positions itself as an internationally competitive institution of excellence, offering comprehensive, high-quality education, a commitment to research, and internationalization based on the mobility and attraction of students and researchers from around the world. We are committed to continuing to develop strategic alliances that strengthen our presence globally and within the international scientific community.

The prestige of our university is built not only on its academic, research, and knowledge transfer achievements, but also on the commitment and responsibility of each of its members. UNIZAR It is about sharing a long history of excellence and tradition, combined with cutting-edge innovation, and being part of a community that, through effort and dedication, remains steadfast in its mission to transform society.

In every corner of our university, this pride of belonging should be palpable, uniting us and driving us forward with the conviction that, together, we can achieve anything we set our minds to.

Being part of the University of Zaragoza is a privilege and an honor.

Rosa Bolea Bailo
Rector of the University of Zaragoza
