Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: The UOC's equal-opportunity and inclusive approach to higher education has been designed to ensure that no one is left behind. What's more, our programmes aid students in becoming socially responsible citizens with a global outlook. The University also engages in research that has a social impact and forges alliances with academic and cultural institutions, international agencies and organizations from the voluntary sector. The United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a central pillar of the UOC's pursuit to position itself as a global university. Accordingly, we are facing the world's greatest challenges head-on by generating knowledge that can be used to help our societies progress. Therefore, UOC is interested and follows the main EU priorities and policies in European Education, Research and Innovation: - European Digital Education Content Framework - Europe’s Digital Education Action Plan (2021-2027) - Council Recommendation on a European approach to micro-credentials for lifelong learning and employability (2022) - Recommendations on key competences for lifelong learning (2018) - European Digital Skills and Jobs Platform - Research Cluster for Digitally-enabled Education - Framework of the AI Act proposal (2021) and “Ethical guidelines on the use of AI and data in teaching and learning for educators” (2022) by the European Commission. - Human Resources Strategy and HRS for Researchers (HRS4R) and theEuropean Competence Framework for Researchers - European Council Recommendation on learning for environmental sustainability (2022) - European Neighbourhood Policy - Rural Pact - EC Communication “A long-term Vision for the EU's Rural Areas - Towards stronger, connected, resilient and prosperous rural areas by 2040” (2021) - New European Innovation Agenda, adopted on 5 July 2022 - EU's open science policy

Communication Activities: La UOC participa en xarxes d’àmbit internacional (IAU i J-WEL), europeu (EADTU, EUA i EDEN), regional/iberoamericà (CINDA) i territorial (CRUE). La UOC ha implementat un pla de comunicació dedicat específicament a les seves principals xarxes internacionals de col·laboració, com ara la IAU, EUA, EADTU, EDEN i CINDA. En aquest marc, la Universitat difon regularment notícies sobre projectes, resultats i activitats, que es comparteixen mitjançant les newsletters d'aquestes xarxes arribant a institucions universitàries a Europa, Amèrica Llatina i altres regions. Ademas, la UOC se ha adherido al Rural Pact y una de sus académicas, Soledad Morales, forma parte del Comité de gestión del Rural Pact.
