Research
(From 2010 leaflet "UdG: a hub in the Pyrenees-Mediterranean Region")
Research at the UdG is mainly focussed on two strategic lines: (1) water science and management, and (2) tourism and sustainability. Furthermore, the UdG pursues research in a few important research and innovation programmes that have attained a prominent role at the university: scientific research, the dissemination of its results and its ensuing social influence are also focussed on computer simulation and applications, food and agriculture, biomedicine, the quality of life and cultural heritage.
The University of Girona joins its Science and Technology Park and several Catalan and Spanish research institutions in its pursuit of research excellence. For that purpose it has 10 research institutes and academic personnel in 21 departments and 112 research groups (62 in the humanities and social sciences, 50 in science, technology and health fields). Moreover, 20 chairs allow closer interaction with Girona’s environment.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“The great question that has never been answered and which I have not get been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a women want?””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
