In 2005, the MLN Group and the University of Zaragoza signed a collaboration agreement.<\/p>\n<p>One of the Chair\u2019s objectives is a commitment to teaching excellence and applied research. To this end, various activities such as seminars, courses and talks were organised. In addition, each academic year, two prizes are awarded for the best final-year projects in the fields of the environment and civil engineering, as well as an award for the best academic record among students on the Industrial Engineering and Chemical Engineering degree programmes at the University of Zaragoza. Furthermore, the MLN Group Laboratory actively collaborates on projects carried out within the MLN Chair, hosting university students who undertake their final-year projects there.
