A committed candidature

Responsibility, joy and enthusiasm are the words that define my candidature.

I am convinced that the Project my team and I are presenting, will drive us towards a future filled with prosperity. We have 24 commitments, 60 objectives that we will fulfill with 280 concrete actions, which will take us towards a positive and reliable change in the University. For this reason, it is necessary to plan for short, medium and long term with strategic plans that will indicate the path we have to follow in order to achieve these objectives.

People are the fundamental part of my program. For this reason, it is necessary to rejuvenate the staff of both PDI (Research and Teaching Staff Service) and PAS (Administration and Service Staff), as well as draw the rectorate closer to students. We want to enhance teaching by fostering the career of teaching staff, strengthening research and granting our University with a much more universal character.
