Abstract
It is well-established that high-multiplicity pp and p--Pb collisions exhibit various signatures associated with the formation of QGP in heavy-ion collisions.
In this contribution, we present results obtained using Underlying Event (UE) techniques, used to measure the average number density and the average total transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) in the Transverse region with respect to the leading trigger particle, but employed in novel ways.
A conventional UE analysis is applied in p--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV to test the similarities between pp and p--Pb collisions.
The results are compared with predictions from QCD-inspired Monte Carlo event generators.
Finally, the UE studies are used to search for jet-like modifications by subtracting the UE contributions measured in the Transverse region from the Toward and the Away regions.

Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and readers, and in "proceeding" format which is more detailed and complete.
