The Director of the NAT University Research Institute (IURNAT) of the eUniv, Dr. Carlos Martínez, last May 23, 2023, signed a technology transfer agreement with the Ecuadorian University of the Pacific, which has its headquarters in the city of Guayaquil.

By virtue of this agreement, IURNAT will advise the Ecuadorian institution in its process of transforming its teaching into the virtual modality, which will take effect through the eUniv teaching and academic management platforms.

The Director of IURNAT will join as a member of the Scientific Advisory Council of the University of the Pacific, and its Chancellor will do so as a member of the Academic Senate of the eUniv. The agreement also provides that Ecuadorian university professors have preferential right to admission to the doctoral research lines promoted by IURNAT.

The Academic Board of the eUniv approved last May 23 the project, coordinated by Joaquim Vallès, to organize a fourth center of the university, dedicated to the implementation of technological and quantitative education.

This new center of the eUniv, which will be named the University Institute of Applied Technology (IUTA), will have its own teaching platform, HeldaTech, specially designed for the type of technical education.

Initially, IUTA will implement the Bachelor’s in Computer Science and the Master’s in Computer Engineering courses, and will proceed to modify the respective study plans in order to adapt them to the new platform.

Last Tuesday, May 23, the eUniv headquarters was visited by Dr. Isaac Galobardes, new Director of the Andorran Higher Education Quality Agency (AQUA), who presented the main lines of his action plan to the Academic Board of the University.

For their part, the Rector and the other members of the Board conveyed to him the present and future projects of the eUniv, as well as the positions on the objectives of the internal quality assurance system and its relationship with AQUA.

eUniv has been part of the AQUA Steering Committee since 2021, representing the private universities of the Principality of Andorra.

Last March 29, the Official Gazette of the Principality of Andorra published Decree 132/2023, of 22-3-2023, creating the state title of bachelor in classical languages. This new degree of the Andorran university system has been incorporated at the request of eUniv, which will shortly proceed to present the corresponding study plan to AQUA.

The bachelor’s degree in classical languages will have an academic load of 180 ECTS credits, and can be taken in six semesters (three academic years). Its implementation at eUniv is planned from the next academic year 2023-24, through the School of Classical Languages.
