TELEFÓNICA CHAIR
COLLABORATION BETWEEN UFV AND TELEFÓNICA
TELEFÓNICA CHAIR
Comprising 21 Chairs in Spain and 25 public and private universities, the Telefónica Chairs Network allows collaboration between the University and Telefónica for training, research and knowledge transfer purposes, with the shared aim of analyzing the current situation and identifying trends on the impact of ICT on society from a “multidisciplinary” perspective. Each of chair has its own “specialization” from which they focus their activities and contribute to the Network to become a leading think tank in studying of the impact of ICT in society, with a secondary aim of disseminating and communicating the most relevant results.
