Our research

From the UOC, specializing in particular in the digital realm, our research contributes to the construction of the society of the future and the transformations required to tackle global challenges. We have five research missions:

As well as exploring what the future may hold for education, we champion innovative methods and technologies which, in an increasingly digital and constantly evolving world, can provide people with lifelong learning and empowerment.

We create organizational and technological models that empower people, and foster digital technologies that are ethical, inclusive and respectful of human rights.

We research equitable and sustainable solutions, focusing on social, environmental, economic and political dynamics with the transformative potential of digital technologies.

We encourage critical thinking and ethical awareness among the public, promoting understanding of the impact of digital technologies on culture and society.

We promote and research human health and planetary well-being with an all-encompassing approach, developing digital tools and technological solutions that address global challenges and improve ecosystems.
