About the Red.es – UPM Chair:
This Red.es Chair is part of a collaboration agreement between the public entity and the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM) through the Higher Technical School of Telecommunications Engineers (ETSIT).
Within this framework of relations, Red.es and the ETSIT-UPM have been carrying out intensive advisory work on regulation and policies to promote the Information Society through the State Secretariat for Telecommunications.
Red.es provides institutional and financial support to UPM students to complete their professional training by funding final-year projects and paid internships within the public business entity. This is a job opportunity for future telecommunications professionals to learn about the activities and objectives of Red.es as an institution committed to the development of the Information Society in Spain.
