Welcome to the Miguel Hernández University of Elche website. Ours is a public university that has begun its journey with enthusiasm and energy, with the resolute purpose of offering the highest quality education and research. Our goals are those of the university spirit: to comprehensively train our students from pluralistic and tolerant thinking and attempt to collaborate in finding solutions to the problems affecting society. The Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) is presently the most productive Spanish university in creating technology-based companies from the work of its researchers. According to the latest report by the IUNE Observatory, which analyzes R&D activity at Spanish universities, the UMH stands out as the Spanish university institution that started the most spin-offs for the last recorded year (2013), with 2.36 companies per 100 faculty. Today, the UMH, through its Scientific Park and Innovation Lab, a business incubator and accelerator, actively maintains 22 companies that were born from the transfer of knowledge of university research.
