Juan Ignacio Pérez Iglesias , Counsellor for Science, Universities and Innovationof theBasque Government andJoxerramon Bengoetxea , Rector of the UPV/EHU, have agreed this Friday on the basis of the new University Plan 2027-2030 , where so far disagreements and differences of opinion have prevailed.
Both parties appeared this Friday to reporton the agreement, which was attended by Counsellor Juan Ignacio Perez Iglesias and Rector ofthe UPV/EHU Joxerramon Bengoetxea , together with Vice-Chancellor of University Policy Xabier Aizpurua and Vice-President of University Policy .
In this regard, work hasbeen done on the strategic axes to be included in the next Plan of the University System and on how to combine the needs and academic projects oftheUPV with the axes proposed by the Department. The Rector has pointed out that this pact for the establishment of a work plan is "good news for the entire Basque university community and for society itself".
For his part, Pérez Iglesias mentions that the two parallel lines initially dividedhave finally converged , so that, from distant approaches, they have been able to establish a framework around the university plan in which the demands and desires of the university will be worked out.
At this first meeting, five of the main axes that the University System Plan wants to include have been consolidated: the promotion of cutting-edge research, enhancing the international experience of teachers and researchers; the preservation of the university community; the strengthening of university internationalization; the promotion of collaboration between university and business; and the implementation of initiatives to adapt digitization and artificial intelligence to teaching and university activity as a whole.
Thus, in the coming months, actions relating to these five main axes, as well as specific planning to ensure adequate infrastructure, will be defined, addressing the needs and academic projects of the UPV/EHU, and considering how to organize with the five axes mentioned above.
