GMV and the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM), through the School of Computer Systems Engineering (Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Sistemas Informáticos, or ETSISI), have expanded their cooperation within the framework of the GMV-UPM Program, opening a new computer science laboratory for students in the program.

The GMV-UPM Program was created in 2004 to lay the groundwork for collaboration between the two organizations both in training and in project development. The program initially focused on the School of Space and Aeronautics Engineering (Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeronáutica y del Espacio, or ETSIA-ETSIAE), with activities aimed at training experts in aerospace systems and carrying out R&D+i projects in this field while contributing to furthering the discipline and connecting it with science, technology and the most advanced management techniques.

The program's goals included expanding outreach and collaboration with other UPM schools, leading to joint activities with the ETSISI in recent years. The opening of the laboratory on the UPM’s south campus is a new milestone in this regard. With this initiative, GMV is expanding the agreement signed with the UPM, highlighting its potential as an employer and showing students how the program can help them complete their education and improve their employability.

The goal of the ETSISI’s new computer science laboratory is to offer students interning with GMV a space where they can work on their projects, connect further with the company and the university, meet other interns, and enjoy a flexible working environment.

The opening event, which took place on 26 September, was hosted by Agustín Yagüe, head of the ETSISI, along with Ignacio Ramos, GMV's Manager of Corporate Strategy for People and Infrastructure, and was attended by former and current members of the program, UPM and ETSISI professors and students, and GMV professionals who are ETSISI alumni.
