Due to COVID-19's significant impact on our lives, we've taken a number of measures with two key goals in mind: to protect the health of our staff and to help students continue their learning.
We've also sought to put our expertise to good use in the community, helping to launch the Conectad@s: La universidad en casa platform. And, in April, the "Emergency remote teaching" programme, targeting Spanish-speaking teachers trying to adapt to online teaching. The initiative was welcomed with open arms: about 10,000 people from 47 countries signed up for the programme.
Our work responding to this situation is ongoing. On these pages you can find updated information on all our measures and initiatives.
"In exercise of our university's autonomy and social responsibility, I would like to relay personally to you the Executive Board's decision to extend the policy of prioritizing e-working throughout the 2020/21 academic year."
From April to June 2020, the University's faculty held 24 online webinars to help the teaching community end the school year online
Short training modules to help during the pandemic
Seventeen one-month online courses, each worth one ECTS credit.
To adapt to students' personal situations and to help them continue their studies, we've introduced a series of measure offering extra flexibility. We're also offering resources to the wider public so they can learn from home.
