A quarterly publication of AQU Catalunya
Martí Casadesús · AQU Catalunya's Director
Over the last few months the Spanish Ministry of Universities has sent out different drafts related to the amendment they are preparing with regard to Royal Decree (RD) 1393 on the organisation of university education. This is a key regulation that governs how university degrees are organised and evaluated in Spain.
At the beginning of the 1990s, a clear conviction already existed among the political and administrative circles of the European Union that it was time to harmonise the university studies of the different member countries. The goal was to allow the Union to fulfil one of the objectives of its creation: the mobility of professors, staff and graduates.
In 2020, AQU Catalunya teamed up with the Catalan Public Employment Service, the Consortium for Lifelong Learning in Catalonia, the Ministry of Business and Knowledge, the Government of Catalonia's Directorate General for University and Research Planning and the Barcelona Digital Talent alliance to design and launch a pilot scheme for accrediting, ex ante, short learning programmes linked to the Catalan Public Employment Service's Catalogue of Training in Specialised Fields.
Today no one doubts, as JP Morgan analysts suggested, that our economic recovery from the pandemic will be K-shaped. On the one hand, we have highly digitalised sectors and companies that are capitalising on the scalability offered by technology to grow even faster; on the other, we have companies that are incapable of driving a true digital transformation of their business model.
