The University launches a new edition of its online Experts guide

The publication includes a total of 539 experts, including professors, researchers and practitioners from the academic center, 150 more than the previous edition, published in 2015; and 1,572 specialties organized in 21 areas of knowledge, twice as many as the previous version.
