The internationalisation strategy received this distinction – of International Campus – in 2011, thanks to the collaboration and synergies with other centres from around the Pyrenees-Mediterranean region. Besides the UIB, Pierre and Marie Curie University of Paris and the University of Perpignan Via Domitia also took part in it.
After a positive assessment by a commission of experts, Campus e-MTA had its status of Campus of International Excellence confirmed in 2016. The Campus marked the start of an intensive policy for promoting sectoral campuses that cover the issues that the UdG excels in, calling on external agents and combining capacities for the future.
