The past and present…
The UCO is one of the foremost research
institutions in Spain; a distinction that will be
further consolidated with the creation of the
Rabanales 21 Science and Technology Park
and the Maimonides Institute for Biomedical
Research.
A young, dynamic university dedicated to
research and in constant evolution, the UCO
is firmly committed to the problems and
needs of the community at large.
The UCO maintains strong ties with business
and other entities, while also structuring
much of its own activity around an
entrepreneurial vision.
Most importantly, it is an institution that is
not only committed to training qualified
professionals, but to supporting and
encouraging its students to grow as people
and as citizens.
The UCO is heir to a centuries-old historical
and cultural legacy as well as a passion for
knowledge, tolerance, international renown
and harmony among civilizations that have
made the city that houses our institution a
paradigm for humanity.
This equilibrium and harmony are reflected
in the three areas in which the UCO
undertakes its activities:
 Food and Agriculture and Science and
Technology;
 Humanities and the Legal and Social
Sciences;
 and the Health Sciences;
This balance is also manifested in quality
teaching and research, ranking it among the
top academic institutions in Spain.

Industrial Electronics and Instrumentation
The Industrial Electronics and Instrumentation (IEI)
R&D group is formed by 15 PhDs. Located at the School
of Engineering of the University of Cordoba, it is one of
the leaders in the field of Smart Grids in Spain.
The Smart Grid refers to the application of ICT to the electric power
sector to improve reliability, reduce cost, increase efficiency, and
enable new components and applications. The emergence of Smart
Grids together with smart meters, sensors, devices and appliances
promises new financial and environmental advantages in the energy
market and the overall economy.
