The University of Granada is already the Spanish university with the greatest impact on its local environment measured in terms of provincial GDP. The province of Granada accounts for 2.5% of Spain in surface area, almost 2% of the population and聽1.4% of the national GDP, however;聽the University of Granada accounts for approximately 4% of all scientific production in Spain. The economic impact of the University is estimated at聽6.12% of the province鈥檚 GDP.聽
