Due to the growing interest shown by society and businesses in free software, and in keeping with UPC’s unfaltering commitment to this technology, UPC’s Board of Management launched the Free Software Chair to serve as a vehicle for all the initiatives undertaken by the University in this area.
The Chair, which was created in September 2004, aims to raise awareness of open-source software at UPC and in society at large. At UPC, the Chair aims to promote the use and development of open-source software, both amongst the teaching and research staff and administrative and service staff as well as amongst the student body. Beyond the university community, the Chair aims to channel the needs and interests of companies, government and society towards UPC’s team of experts, who will be able to offer them solutions crafted around free software.
