The EFQUEL Office for Spain and Latin America aims to help the institution strengthen its links with countries in this region, which is one of its strategic priorities. EFQUEL’s decision to set up in the UOC’s Madrid office is further proof of the UOC’s position as a clear point of reference for its e-learning model.
The event involved UOC vicePresident Pere Fabra; EFQUEL President Ulf Ehlers, EFQUEL Vice President and Director of the UOC’s eLearn Center Albert Sangrā; EFQUEL member and professor at the University of Granada Miguel Gea; EFQUEL member Claudio Dondi, and other representatives from universities, institutions, bodies and companies linked to the higher education sector.
