About UB Cathedra chairs and Classrooms
The UB wants to extend the instruments of collaboration beyond research agreements or contracts, regulating a different formula of interaction with society in the form of Cathedra chairs or Classrooms.
What are UB Cathedra chairs and Classrooms?
UB Cathedra chairs and classrooms are instruments that serve to establish long-term agreements between the University and one or more companies or public or private entities in one or more areas of knowledge, in order to carry out teaching, research, cultural or other, that, being in the mutual interest of both parties, falls within the competences and purposes of the UB.
How are they created?
The proposal to create UB Cathedra chairs and Classrooms may come from the governing bodies of the university, the faculties, centres and departments of the UB. The proposal may also be submitted by teaching and research staff assigned to any of its departments.
The promoter must present the proposal for a Cathedra chair or Classroom to the Office of the Vice President for Academic Planning and Quality, once they have been informed of the Department or Centre to which the chair or classroom will be attached.
The promoter must reach an agreement with the company or entity, which must agree to collaborate on the project.
The agreement is formalized by signing an agreement that includes the details of the collaboration, following the current rules and regulations
Rules and regulations
To facilitate the creation and operation of these chairs and classrooms, and based on the experience gained in recent years, the University Governing Council approved in December 2017 a precise regulation of the operation of the Cathedra chairs and classrooms, which has made it possible to achieve greater transparency and has favoured the growth of their number in a remarkable way
