This meeting is part of the induction programme and takes place once a month to welcome people who have recently joined the UOC with long-term or permanent contracts.

At this meeting, President Planell highlighted the success of the UOC’s educational model, how being a privately managed public university allows us to continue growing and hiring new talent, and how COVID-19 has forced us to reconsider many things, including a new way of working.

An explanation of the UOC’s mission, business model (prism model and quadruple helix) and its main internal collectives (faculties, research centres and administrative staff) was provided by Antoni Cahner, the General Manager.

After that the floor was opened to for the new members of staff to pose questions, make comments and share impressions.

We welcome you all and wish you every success here at the UOC!
