Research Café

Logo Research Café

The Research Cafés are informal meetings, organized by the libraries of the UPC, to learn about and enhance the visibility of the University's research staff projects.

These days bring together doctoral students, postdocs, academic staff and other members of the University and society to promote the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and collaboration between research areas.

About the Observatory

With the organization of the Research Cafés, from the libraries, we want to: 

  • Promote knowledge and open science.
  • Promote the social and cultural activity of the different campuses of the UPC.
  • Improve networking and cooperation in potentially interconnected research.

 

Organizing meetings focused on interest in research and innovation: 

  • We make emerging research more visible on the different campuses of the UPC.
  • We will improve support services for research staff, in a personalized way. 
  • We promote libraries as a meeting point and networking between the different groups that do research on the campuses.

The participation of doctoral students from the campuses of the is particularly interesting UPC, although the participation of other research staff and students doing final degree or master's work is also of great value. 

As information professionals, we are aware of the diversity of needs and realities of the different groups of the university community and offer to act as network nodes between them to promote collaboration and mutual enrichment.

We also offer informative support in the development and management of open research to make it more visible and accessible.

We work to spread the science and knowledge generated by the doctoral students and all the research staff of the UPC promoting open science, creating synergies and arousing interest in the dissemination of open knowledge.
