–What does the recognition mean from the University of Córdoba for your company?
–Recognitions are always well received, since they are a good motivation for people in the company.
–How long have you been collaborating with the University?
–We have been collaborating for many years. We have been working with scholars from the University of Córdoba for around 15 years, and we have also collaborated with the University for specific R & D projects.
–Do you consider that we must strengthen the links between Universities and companies?
Yes, of course. I have always said that the University is too often separated from industry and business, while in other countries they are working closely together. It is true that within the last 10 years, the University has formed relationships with companies and vice versa, and that’s the way it should continue. Besides, it is mutually beneficial.
–Do you have new projects to increase the collaboration with the University?
Yes, we are developing new products in our R & D Department, and we always rely on the university and look for ways to collaborate with them to get the best quality possible.
