Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Avda. de Ramiro de Maeztu, 7, 28040 Madrid, Spain
Description:
The Universidad Politécnica de Madrid as such was 25 years old in 1996 although most of its centres are over a hundred years old, having been founded in the 18th and 19th centuries and existing independently until they were grouped together in the UPM. It is no exaggeration to say that much of the history of Spanish technology for over one and half centuries was written by the Schools of Architecture and Engineering of this university, in that for many years some of them were the only schools in existence.
