Universidad de La Rioja

Universidad de La Rioja is a public university in Logroño with a compact campus, an applied‑research focus, and close ties to the regional economy. Companies engage through co‑located labs, contract research, and a technology transfer office that coordinates IP, access to shared facilities, and collaboration agreements. Proximity to La Rioja’s internationally recognized wine ecosystem—supported by a joint institute for vine and wine sciences and nearby agri‑food infrastructure—enables collaborative trials and validation with local suppliers and SMEs. Research draws competitive support from the regional government, Spain’s national science programs, and European frameworks. Startup creation and licensing are backed by dedicated tech‑transfer services and industry chair programs that streamline engagement.
