UNIR Research – the Research and Technology Unit of the Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR) – designs, implements and evaluates research strategies at the university.

UNIR Research encourages researchers and professors to contribute effectively to research activities at UNIR, by participating in research groups, in national and European R&D Projects, as well as in a wide range of calls and initiatives related to research and to the technological aspect of the institution. UNIR research integrates and directs research activities at UNIR in line with the main academic fields of the university (Technology, Education, Communication, Social Sciences, Law, Engineering, Humanities, Psychology, Business, Accessibility and Social Work). Moreover, UNIR Research promotes research agreements with national and international institutions from all over the world, (mostly from Europe and Latin America). UNIR Research also represents the university at international congresses, in international organisms and committees.

Our work with UNIR Research

In 2015 the Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR) and The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations (TIHR) created the Tavistock Chair in Social Science for Education and Change. The main objective of the Chair, assigned to UNIR Research (the Research and Technology Unit of UNIR) is to research, explore and experiment with policies, behaviours, training, structure, groups and relations, and how these elements interact towards changes and effective improvement, in specific contexts and settings.
