Research and experimental development comprise creative and systematic work in order to add to our current understanding —including knowledge about culture and society— and also to enhance the creation of new applications for existing knowledge (OECD, 2015).
FUBA’s Department of Research and Graduate Studies is in charge of the management, promotion, and divulgation of all the basic, applied, and creative research activity held within the institution.
Mission
