Thank you. In this second presentation, we wanted to take the
opportunity to say that we are already working on these work packages.
The first thing was to have a member of the UNED community who was aware, working,
coordinating in their case, or coordinating the work packages that correspond to us.
How are we working? Very quickly. We have moved, in a way, to what I was telling you before,
with the same people who initially had responsibilities in the proposal of the project,
but now each of those work packages has a manager within the
UNED and, in turn, we are starting to form the sub-tasks.
It is not about the coordinator of each work package having to develop all the tasks,
but rather to form the large teams that we are hoping to form over the next four years.
Not all the tasks, on the other hand, are carried out in this first year, but we are following
a work rhythm and, therefore, we have to follow the team constitution according to the tasks.
They will be presenting themselves, as you can see here, and they
are all, in turn, supported by the corresponding vice-rectors.
We are going to say that two students will be part of the student council, and
we will meet with them as well, and that we are in that configuration phase.
We are going to start, instead of going by the order of package 1, package 2, etc., we are going to start with the initial packages,
which are 1, 6, which is the internationalization one, because it is the largest one in which the UNED has a great responsibility,
and 2, which is the one of lifelong training, which we co-lead, because
they are the work packages in which we have the greatest responsibility.
So, if this is ok with you, I will give the floor to Fernando Bal,
who has the first two, 1 and 6, to comment on them. Thank you.
Well, this first work package is not led by UNED,
it is led by the UOC, but we are participating.
What it says is that it is about creating a governance and management structure, that is, to put in place a
series of government bodies, such as the board of directors, the executive board, the different work groups, etc.
And once the board of directors is established, once those government bodies are established,
we have to approve a series of transversal measures that affect all packages and activities,
and that have to be adopted at that
level, such as the quality assurance plan.
Here, of course, although I am a member of UNED who participates in this work group, I
obviously support the quality vice-rectorate, I consult with the quality vice-rectorate,
and I will try to make sure that, when the time comes, the quality
vice-rectorate is involved in everything that is necessary, as far as they want.
The same goes for the ethical and digital green plan, to ensure the
ethical use of technology and reduce the environmental footprint.
Again, we have to contact the relevant UNED experts,
we are looking for them, we are trying to involve them.
And then, the sustainability plan, thinking beyond the four years, thinking about expanding
the alliance and then constituting, that is another thing that the other alliances are doing,
constituting the legal entity that allows the UNED to function autonomously, the legal
capacity and the capacity to work to be able to hire, act, etc., in the normal legal traffic.
This is, in essence, what is done in
the work group 1, the work package 1.
And then, the work package 6, which we see immediately, is about internationalization,
which has to be inclusive, ecological and based on two things, mobility and joint programs.
Actually, there are three pillars here. Mobility, with its four forms, the joint
programs, at least we have committed to this joint degree in software development,
the open master in climate emergency and the micro-degree in democracy and European values. It is
true that the master is more related to what Agustín Caminero is directing, so I won't talk about it.
And then, the three pillars, mobility, joint titles and multilingualism. Mobility, of course,
is for students, but it is also for staff, PDI and PTGAS, technical staff and professors,
so that there are opportunities at all levels. Here, PTGAS' mobility is very important
to create this common culture when managing the different activities of OpenEU.
I am lucky that, in terms of mobility, with the invaluable help of the internationalization service, we are advancing,
but this first year we have to define this framework, this general framework of mobility for the whole university,
in addition to a joint framework for joint titles and, well, to advance in the offer
of language courses, to put them together to advance in the multilingualism path.
