The ‘AULA INDRA ENERGIA’ was established, in 2011, through a collaboration agreement between the ‘Universidad Politécnica de Madrid’ (UPM) and the company ‘INDRA SISTEMAS, S.A’.
The AULA INDRA ENERGIA was created to promote work and studies in the field of information and communications technologies, solutions, and services, as well as the training activities and publications derived from such works and studies. The aim of the partnership is to contribute to the development and consolidation of research, and the advancement of knowledge in the aforementioned field. The UPM oversees the economic and administrative management of the AULA INDRA ENERGIA.
Coordinator: Professor Domingo Alfonso Martín Sánchez
