INNOVATION, RIGOR, IMPACT: DISCOVER RESEARCH AT IE

At IE University, we’re proud to have a diverse community of scholars actively and creatively conduct high-quality research. They show a steadfast commitment to excellence and scientific rigor in every research project and strive to make a lasting positive impact with their results – both within the academic world and in society at large. These results also enrich students’ learning experience across all schools at IE University, as cutting-edge knowledge is consistently integrated into their program content.

The researchers in our community also keep their finger on the pulse of their fields and areas of research by participating in international academic conferences, forging partnerships for scientific collaboration, and engaging in relevant editorial and advisory initiatives. These activities strengthen scholars’ expertise while broadening and diversifying their scientific perspective. At IE University, we are committed to academic freedom. To that end, we encourage our researchers to research from diverse perspectives and critically evaluate a wide range of results and theories, while adhering to national laws and international ethical standards.
