Fundación madri+d
The madri+d Foundation is an initiative of the Government of the Community of Madrid created in 2002 to manage the Regional Plan for Scientific Research and Technological Innovation. In 2014, we were designated as the competent body for the evaluation of the Madrid University System in order to guarantee the quality of the training programmes of the region's universities. Furthermore, since our inception we have been committed to the dissemination of scientific knowledge, bringing scientific culture closer to society. In this regard, I would like to suggest that you subscribe to our Notiweb madri+d, a free, daily online publication that compiles the main news on the scientific scene and which is already a benchmark for information on science, technology and innovation.
