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.
