The MoU aims to cement ongoing collaborations between the two universities. In particular UCM and King’s College London are two of the five partners of the International Universities Health Network, which has the ambitious task of collating all data, treatment and otherwise of student attendance at their universities with a view to providing a database, which can be analysed, audited and utilised for innovation. The other universities involved are Alabama, Oslo and Hong Kong.
The University Complutense at Madrid is Spain’s leading dental school and has a high research profile with major activities in dental materials and periodontology as well as craniofacial development. Talks have already begun to initiate student exchanges and to discuss the possibility of developing a joint flexible learning approach to graduate education suitable for South America.
