This quality research should contribute to the following: progress in all knowledge areas, qualityof-life improvements, environmental preservation and improvement, the promotion of peace, the elimination of social and economic inequalities between individuals and peoples, and scientific and artistic progress in general. The equal opportunities of women and men are respected in all of these areas. The University does not participate in research projects that are incompatible with this objective. In particular, it does not take part in projects that could contribute to the arms race. The UB ensures that all of its research is of a high quality. To achieve this, it evaluates studies undertaken by individuals, research groups and any other forms of research collaboration (Article 100.6, University of Barcelona Statutes). The entities in the UB Group are responsible for ensuring that all of their research is undertaken in accordance with the current legislation and using good scientific practices.
