The OPIR

The objectives of the UB International Research Projects Office (OPIR) are the promotion of research programmes and calls for proposals from the European Commission and other European and international bodies, to provide technical and administrative support for the preparation of European and international research proposals, and the negotiation of the granted projects. The contact details of our staff can be found in the directory.

The economic management (payments, budget control, preparation of financial reports, etc.) of most of the types of projects awarded is carried out by the R&D&I Grants Management and Justification Unit.

OPIR technical staff can be contacted directly via email, via Teams, or via the generic email address recerca.europea@ub.edu.
