Mission of the OPI

The mission of the UAB International Projects Office is to promote the participation of UAB teaching and research staff in international programmes and calls for applications that allow them to attract funding from research and innovation grants. The OPI also accompanies the research staff in the development and management of certain projects. The activity of the OPI is part of the university's strategy for attracting and retaining research talent.
