U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

Facultad de Odontología The Faculty of Dentistry at UIC Barcelona teaches students to use good judgement and technical skills to prevent, treat and rehabilitate oral and dental disease in an ethical, efficient and safe manner. The Faculty of Dentistry’s academic programmes are structured around the following key principles: 1. - Scientific evidence; our teaching staff and students are actively involved in international congresses on higher education and research in dentistry. 2. - Practice-based teaching; our undergraduate students gain hands-on experience in the University Dental Clinic. The Faculty has facilities equipped with cutting-edge technology to ensure students take full advantage of their practical training and learn to use new technologies (Cad-Cam, 3D, nitrous oxide conscious sedation, etc.). 3. - Internationalisation; we promote mobility and exchanges with foreign universities through the Erasmus programme and a host of international exchange agreements. 4. - Personal guidance; one-on-one guidance for students and job market preparation: each student receives personal guidance from an advisor or coach. We have an active job bank with job offers from numerous clinical companies and dentistry-sector institutions. The Sant Cugat Campus spans 33,500 m2. The new preclinical laboratory has 95 dental simulators and digital imaging equipment to simulate real dental situations. It has 14 practicum laboratories and a dental clinic with 88 booths, in which 8,000 patients are treated each month. We also have two new prosthetics laboratories featuring the latest CAD-CAM technology, a dental research laboratory, medical and simulation laboratories and an ossuary. For complementary tests, we have 3 X-ray and 3D machines and implant and prosthetics planning software.

Facultad de Odontología The main focus of the Faculty of Dentistry is applied research based on clinical results or responses that verify or dispute the effectiveness of clinical materials or techniques. As a result, most of the studies we design are controlled clinical or observational trials. On the other hand, translational research is a major factor we take into account when designing laboratory trials, i.e. that the data obtained in the laboratory always has clinical repercussions. We rigorously perform clinical trials in a host of different dentistry fields, all of which are approved and supervised by the Ethics Committee for Clinical Research (CEIC), which assesses research projects in order to ensure compliance with patients’ rights and research ethics. The CEIC is an independent body that ensures clinical trials are carried out properly, expressing an opinion on the trial protocol, the suitability of the researchers and facilities and on the methods and documents to be used to inform trial subjects and obtain their informed consent. Having an Ethics Committee for Clinical Research that is accredited by the Government of Catalonia’s Ministry of Health makes it possible to work in cooperation with multinational companies and carry out clinical trials that have a scientific impact and provide benefits to society. Through its research, the Faculty aims to develop the academic research associated with the Faculty’s various areas, producing high-impact publications that enable our students and lecturers to earn research degrees and accreditation, and to provide services for and work in cooperation with dentistry-sector companies to generate the bi-directional transfer of knowledge. Research in the field of dentistry is performed in the University Dental Clinic (CUO), the laboratories at UIC Barcelona and associated external research centres, where required. The Faculty of Dentistry has a Biomaterials Research Laboratory, through which we provide companies top-rate biomaterials research services while performing academic research associated with the projects being carried out by researchers in the Faculty’s various departments. The laboratory is also used to perform research for final master’s degree projects and doctoral theses, as well as studies carried out in cooperation with the dentistry sector. The Faculty of Dentistry at UIC Barcelona has an interdisciplinary team of professionals with experience in both in vitro and in vivo research.

FACULTAD DE MEDICINA The academic curriculum for UIC Barcelona’s Medicine Degree is focused on training students based on active educational methodologies with a strong emphasis on information technologies and communication. These teaching methodologies aim to train future doctors in what are known as transversal skills, including interpersonal communication skills, analysis and synthesis, the ability to work as part of a team, self learning, selective acquisition of information, developing a critical sense, etc. Studying Medicine at UIC Barcelona brings students into contact with patients from an early stage, giving them the opportunity to gain first hand experience of the health system. Later on students join one of the teaching units, which are accredited health centres, where they combine practical participation with guided study in the different subject areas.

FACULTAD DE MEDICINA 1. WeCare: End of Life Care is a research group that studies suffering at the end of life from a clinical perspective. End of Life Care is an area of great complexity. The aim of this group is to unite different perspectives on the same issues and thus offer real solutions to patients who are suffering, healthcare professional who work in this field and other members of society (carers, family, peers, mass media etc). Specifically, in adults the phenomenon of the Wish to Hasten Death (WTHD) manifests itself as one of the extreme reactions to suffering which, until now, has not been studied in depth. Our team addresses this issue from the patients’ individual perspective and that of those in their immediate environment. Our methodology involves qualitative and quantitative techniques which facilitate our understanding of this phenomenon. Identifying the loss of ‘Meaning in Life’ (MiL) in patients at the end of their lives has led us to broaden our knowledge and analysis of its link to the WTHD. While in adults serious illness and death can be addressed as part of a natural process, the same situations at the beginning of life are very hard to deal with. Our group also studies this issue from a clinical perspective, with a view to developing perinatal palliative care. 2 New Cyclins Group: The progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle is controlled by different Cyclin Dependent Kinases (CDKs) that might be associated to numerous cyclin isoforms. After the human genome project, a bunch of new CDKs and cyclins appeared. They are different from a structural point of view from the canonical ones and the physiological role of these new proteins is unknown. Our work is focused on the elucidation of the role of these new cyclins in the control of cell cycle. Our current basic research includes: 1. Defining roles for the new CDK/cyclins in cáncer 2. Defining roles for the new CDK/cyclins in stem cells Looking for the function of the conserved new cyclins in yeast. 3. NeuroLipid Group is interested in lipid metabolism and signaling in the nervous system. Brain is one of the tissues with major lipid content. However neurons do not usually use lipids as energetic fuel, which suggest that brain lipids have important structural and signaling functions. In particular, we focus on the role that brain carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C (CPT1C) plays in neuronal lipid metabolism and its implications in cognition, motor function, and regulation of food intake and energy homeostasis. 4. GRE - Research Group on Evidence-based Physiotherapy: physiotherapy assessments and actions in terms of controlling movement (GRFBE) The scientific activity of the group in relation to the main research objective: to analyse the mechanisms for physiotherapy assessments and actions in the processes involved in the control and execution of movement. The group has published 21 articles, 16 of them with an international impact, as well as presented 26 papers at national and international conferences on this topic. The scientific activity of the group is also guaranteed by our academic research training ability, based on the creation of a Master's degree in Physiotherapy and Scientific evidence and the Doctorate in Physiotherapy and the fact the group has supervised numerous completed final Master's degree projects, and doctoral theses which are still in progress at this time. This scientific activity has led to cooperation with different insitutions at a national and an international level (the Iberoamerican Cochrane Centre, the Saint Thomas University in Colombia, etc).

Facultad de Enfermería Nursing, as a service profession that ensures the health of people, families and communities, is influenced and conditioned by economic, social, cultural, political, demographic, healthcare and technological changes, which generate new health scenarios that must be met. The nursing profession should not simply focus on adapting to such changes, but must understand the values, needs and new expectations of society and promote education to provide expert, high-quality care. The development of Nursing contributes to the protection and improvement of the population's health, safety and well-being, prevents illness and its consequences and makes the health system more sustainable.

Facultad de Enfermería UIC Barcelona has, since the beginning, been and continues to be firm in its commitment to contribute to the enhancement of knowledge in Nursing sciences. Health science research and innovation are key elements in the advancement and well-being of individuals and the population. Yet only a fraction of this is performed by nurses in our country. It is for this reason that we need to produce professionals who are able to take part in research and innovation projects, giving them the instrumental and methodological tools necessary for furthering knowledge and the application of scientific evidence. Our degree programme includes a university master’s degree in research for nurses with international exchange programmes, the aim of which is to provide knowledge of research methodologies to both care nurses planning to conduct research at hospitals, primary care centres or research institutes or centres and nurses interested in pursuing doctoral studies and an academic career. Having a 60 ECTS university master’s degree in research is the ideal track for degree holders looking to continue on to a doctoral programme. All Nursing students at UIC Barcelona know they have the opportunity to earn all the academic degrees possible in Nursing at our university (bachelor’s/master’s/doctoral degrees). The Nursing programme is committed to PDI research and ensures the quality of its lecturers, encouraging them to engage in the Faculty’s lines of research. The Department of Nursing works proactively to ensure a consolidated staff of research-track lecturers with PhDs. The Department of Nursing has consolidated lines of research and interdisciplinary research groups with competitive projects and adheres to the principles of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). This implies the involvement of all actors (from people within the research community to institutions and governments), through inclusive and participatory methods, in all stages of the research and innovation process and at all levels of research and innovation governance (from establishing the agenda, to design, implementation and assessment). RRI is based on the following principles: • Gender equality: To ensure gender equality in the research process and content. The lecturers who perform research in Nursing at UIC Barcelona strive to ensure equality in their initiatives and projects, in order to make the results applicable to both men and women. When it comes to proposing solutions to the phenomena under study, the different requirements and experiences that may exist due to gender are taken into consideration. Equality of opportunity is also an integral part of our policy for attracting and retaining talent, ensuring an equal number of men and women are incorporated into our research staff. • Ethics: Our research respects basic rights and ethical principles. All projects must be approved by a research ethics committee. • Open access: The researchers ensure increased access to the scientific results of their projects. • Engagement: The Department has, since the beginning, involved social actors and citizens in its research and innovation activities. It has a group of experts made up of nursing care directors who provide advice to researchers. It also involves students and other citizens. • Scientific education: The Department promotes curricular scientific education through its Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing. • Governance: The Department ensures that research is focused on society’s current and future challenges. The Department’s internal governance model is based on trust, debate and cooperation between members. Strategic decisions are made collectively. Given the precarious situation and the need for high efficiency, the Department takes measures to promote a positive work environment, cooperation and the training of its youngest members. Objectives • To create and encourage the creation of knowledge and improve the science of Nursing. • To provide solutions that promote the well-being of people/families/society. • To enhance the competences of students and practitioners. • To find and attract research talent. • To train researchers (we have had a doctoral programme since the University began). • To find and raise funds for research.
