The UAB participates in the I Forum of Spanish Universities in European Universities

The UAB is part of the ECIU, a European alliance aiming to transform higher education with challenges that have a real impact on society.

The UAB participated in the I Forum of Spanish Universities in European Universities (UEUE), a meeting that allowed sharing experiences and promoting new lines of cooperation between the Spanish universities integrated in these alliances. Among the specific goals of the meeting are:

• Facilitating the exchange of good practices and sharing results, experiences and knowledge between the participating universities;
• Fostering cooperation between all parties involved with the aim of establishing new networks and strengthening existing ones, creating a collaborative environment;
• Discussing and finding joint solutions to the problems, challenges and common needs faced by the UEUE group at a national level;
• Identifying and promoting initiatives that drive the transformation of higher education and the UEUE group.

Attending on behalf of the UAB were Oscar Jané, vice-rector of International Relations and member of the ECIU Board; Ramon Vilanova, vice-rector for Studies and Quality; and Mireia Galí, institutional coordinator of the ECIU University Alliance at the UAB.

Within the UEUE, the UAB coordinates the Microcredentials Working Group given the expertise of the ECIU Alliance, a pioneer in its implementation within the framework of the Alliances, and of the university itself. Oscar Jané, Ramon Vilanova and Mireia Galí led the session held on 4 November, focused on the recognition and implementation of Microcredentials at the European level. In the session, a set of practices was presented regarding its use and a debate among all participants was encouraged. 

The forum served as a platform for the exchange of ideas and opinions between representatives of the universities and to promote a network of collaboration that transcends national borders.
