TEACHING AND RESEARCH STAFF AT THE SERVICE OF TECHNOLOGY
The University of Navarra, a research university, where professors devote 50% of their time to research, is convinced that research supports and enriches teaching, always providing a service to society.
The internal structure of TECNUN is based on a departmental organization chart where the 14 research groups are organized according to branches of knowledge or technology. 14 research groups are organized according to branches of knowledge or technology. Tecnun has 4 departments: Biomedical Engineering and Sciences, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Industrial Organization, and Mechanical Engineering and Materials.Biomedical Engineering and Sciences, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Industrial Organization and Mechanical Engineering and Materials. This organization allows to carry out cutting-edge research projects through the close collaboration of experts in each branch of knowledge. The collaboration of TECNUN with national and international innovative companies allows the development of enabling technologies of high added value that allow them to gain in competitiveness, boost their leadership and generate and exploit intellectual property.
The research activity of Tecnun is multidisciplinary. MAntains internal collaborations and conducts research projects with the Center for Technical Studies and Research of Gipuzkoa (CEIT), the University Clinic of Navarra (CUN), the Center for Applied Medical Research (CIMA), the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Institute (DATAI), among others.

DATAI
Attached to Tecnun, in 2020 the University of Navarra launched in 2020 DATAI, the Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. It is a research, innovation and training centre that seeks a collaborative work of different groups and people from the University with an important weight in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.
CBIO
The School is integrated in the Biomedical Engineering Centre of the University of Navarra, created to combine know-how and synergistic capacities from the technological and biomedical fields of the Pamplona and San Sebastian Campuses. The different medical, biological and pharmaceutical specialities are combined with different areas of knowledge in technology, thus forming multidisciplinary teams with a common objective: to generate valuable solutions for problems or needs in the biomedical field.
