Complutense University of Madrid
Complutense University is rich in history and was formally established in 1499. The Universidad Complutense is the largest university in Spain having, at the end of 2003, more than 98,000 students, with nearly 9,500 workers, of which nearly 6000 are involved in teaching duties The university offers a wide variety of degrees and courses, ranging from Humanities and Arts to the Sciences. More importantly, the University receives a large number of international students and sends a similar number to Europe. The Complutense University of Madrid has a wide network of international connections, including Harvard and the University of California Center at Complutense, and international chairs together with a very intensive participation in European Programs.

This research is not only disseminated in prestigious scientific publications, but an important part of it has been already transferred to both national and international industries such as Agilent Technologies, Interlab Electronics and Control Engineering, Physical Optica Corp., and so on. For instance, a multiparametric fiber-optic chemical sensor system (Optosen ®) is already in the market for in situ environmental monitoring and process control. Therefore, the Erasmus-Mundus students will be participating in a high-quality research environment with strong industrial links that will foster also their training in applied science.
