Jesús D. De La Rosa, University of Huelva

The University of Huelva is the largest academic and research institution in the Province of Huelva. The university plays a fundamental role as a motor of knowledge creation and transfer to the socio-economic environment. In this presentation, the main research activities at the University of Huelva, within the general lines of the Campus of Excellence CEIA3, will be outlined. The central focus of this presentation is the link between these research activities and companies in the agro-alimentary sector and the benefits of this symbiotic connection. Concrete examples of the relationships between research, transfer of knowledge and economic key indicators (employment, exploration of new markets and business success) will be used to underline the general conclusions.
