On 4 December, Alvantia <\/span> attended the Degree Award Ceremony for\nthe 2018\/2019 academic year held at the Campus Sur auditorium of the Polytechnic\nUniversity of Madrid, opened by the chancellor of the UPM, Guillermo Cisneros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Roberto Guti\u00e9rrez, CEO at Alvantia <\/span>, had the honour of handing over the prize for the best academic record on the Degree in Information Systems, thus enhancing the company\u2019s\u00a0strong partnership with the University<\/strong><\/a>. Wei Tingyun was the recipient of this hard-earned recognition of her excellent work during her time at UPM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agust\u00edn Yag\u00fce<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, Head of the Superior Technical School of Information Systems, dedicated a few kind words to the students who will soon be embarking upon their professional career: \u201cIn my humble opinion, the best professional is not necessarily the one who knows most, but the person who in addition to knowing, is able to share this knowledge with others and transmit the enthusiasm of a job well done to those around them. (\u2026) You are our best ambassadors. I know that we are in good hands and that you will continue the tradition of the graduates from the Superior Technical School of Information Systems being so highly regarded by companies during the recruitment process\u201d. Yag\u00fce also highlighted the positive progress seen at the School over the past year, with an upturn in research activities and during which the number of doctoral graduates on the teaching staff has increased. He also indicated that the minimum grade had increased for all degrees and collaboration between the university and companies had increased considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this connection, Guillermo Cisneros<\/strong>, placed special emphasis on joint innovation\n(corporate\/university). According to a recent report by the Regional Government\nof Madrid, UPM accounts for 75% of all university collaborations with private\ncompanies in the region. Furthermore, Cisneros indicated that UPM is the\nuniversity with the highest number of CEOs at IBEX 35 companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The words offered by UPM\u2019s chancellor to the students were\nparticularly moving, recommending that they always use a large dose of\nhumility: \u201cAware of the weight of the luggage that you now take with you and\nthat you must demonstrate wherever you go, you must do so with humility. Any\nperson who passes by your side will have something to teach you, whether they\nhave a university degree or not.\u201d Finally, Cisneros highlighted the importance\nof UPM on an international scale and reminded attendees that almost all\nsubjects offered by the centre are in the Top 200 of the four most recognised\ninternational rankings on a global scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Alvantia <\/span>, we are convinced of the importance of getting\ncompanies involved in university education and we have not hesitated in\ncollaborating once again with UPM, participating at this moving event\nrecognising the talent and excellence of the prize winners. We wish all the\ngraduates a bright professional and personal future.<\/p>\n
