SPbPU has a status of the largest technical university in Russia with its unique capabilities within the Russian partner network (Russian industry, small and medium business, research centers and educational organizations, institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences, national clusters, platforms and associations). Taking this into account the most important functional responsibility of the Center is to serve as a "window to Russia" for all Spanish companies and organizations.

"We chose Spain to establish our Information Center not accidentally. Spain and the countries of Ibero-America are one of the priority development regions for the Polytechnic University. We consider the activity of SPbPU Information Center to be a bridge, which enables us to have direct interaction with the big Spanish-speaking academic community. The opening of the Center will contribute to developing cooperation not only with universities and companies of Spain, but will also popularize the university in Latin and Central America", according to Dmitry Arseniev, Vice-Rector of SPbPU for International Affairs.
