Our very best wishes for your present and future endeavours, Jaime Oraá Oraá Rector Bilbao, 17th February 2012 4 Introduction The University of Deusto was inaugurated in 1886. The concerns and cultural interest of the Basque Country in having their own university, as well as the interest of the Jesuits in establishing higher studies in some part of the Spanish State coincided in its conception. Bilbao, a seaport and commercial city which was experimenting considerable industrial growth during that era, was chosen as the ideal location. Bilbao is the centre of a metropolitan area with more than one million inhabitants, a city traditionally open to Europe. It is, in addition, an important harbour, a commercial and financial centre of the Basque Country and the north of Spain. In September of 1997, the city has undergone a significant transformation under a symbol, an emblematic building, the Bilbao Guggenheim Museum. The central headquarters of the University of Deusto is situated on the opposite side of the estuary, facing the Guggenheim Museum. In 1916, the "Universidad Comercial de Deusto" received the first group of students which would be the first graduates in Economic Sciences in Spain, 25 years before this degree was officially recognised. In 1963, the Institute of University and Technical Studies of Guipuzcoa in San Sebastian was formed by the integration of three already-existing entities. This institute, years later, would form a part of the University of Deusto. Therefore, the University is located on two campuses, in the two coastal capitals of the Basque Country: Bilbao and San Sebastian. Beyond individual research and that research work which is co-ordinated from chairs such as Law and the Human Genome, Leisure and Disabilities, there is, in the institutional sphere, a clear option for the social topics of interdependency, distribution of resources, migration, human rights, development, poverty and environment, ethics and society. There are also studies about cultural identity (individual and collective), and European integration processes taking part in various international research groups. Internationalisation, without excluding other regions, demonstrates a clear commitment to Europe and Latin America, having signed agreements with more than 200 universities. With a mobility of approximately 1.300 students and 50 professors, the faculties, institutes and schools are also implicated in intensive programmes, European modules and joint curricular designs at various levels, at the same time as they participate in cross-border activities, integrated languages, ODL and Leonardo programmes. The entire University adopted the European credit system in the year 1994, and works to promote it and improve its quality. As a matter of fact, Deusto was the first European university to extend the European credits to all its Faculties.

It is one of the most important cities of this community and of Spain. Located in the north Spanish coast, this city bets for a balance between progress and sustainable development. Bilbao also cares on culture and his modernist buildings and theatres prove of it. Language and communication There are two official languages in Basque Country: Spanish and Basque. People speak both languages and most usual things are written in both of them: banners, indications, menus...

  • Coordinación Del Transporte. Creditrans
    Coordinación del Transporte Creditrans Coordinación del transporte. Creditrans La ley fundacional y los Estatutos señalan como competencia propia del Consorcio de Transportes de Bizkaia la coordinación del transporte, lo que ha de sustanciarse tanto a través de la ejecución de las facultades que le sean cedidas al amparo de un Plan de Coordinación del Transporte, como adoptando cuantas medidas sean precisas con las demás Administraciones para el referido fin. Fue en noviembre de 1995 cuando, a raíz de la inauguración del Metro Bilbao, las Instituciones tomaron conciencia de la necesidad de reor ganizar y coordinar el transporte público de Bizkaia. De hecho, no existía en Bizkaia una institución única responsable del transporte público de viajeros, sino varias Instituciones competentes, cada una con sus medios propios. Así, el Gobierno Vasco es el responsable de EuskoTren, operador que cuenta con líneas de ferrocarril y de auto-bús, además de tener la competencia sobre los ascensores de servicio públco. La Diputación Foral gestiona el servicio de transporte por carretera en Bizkaia a través del Bizkaibus. En Bilbao este servicio es responsabilidad del Ayuntamiento, mediante la red Bilbobus. El Ministerio de Fomento responde de las compañías ferroviarias RENFE y FEVE. Finalmente, el Puerto de Bilbao gestiona las concesiones del Puente de Bizkaia y de los botes de pasaje. Cada uno de los operadores citados tiene a su vez su propia Política Tarifaria, lo que se traduce en su propia zonificación, su propia gama de billetes y sus propios precios. Ante esta situación y tras complejas negociaciones, lideradas por el Consorcio de Transportes de Bizkaia, las Instituciones vascas firmaron en junio de 1997 dos Acuerdos Marco: de Coordinación Tarifaria y de Reorde nación del Transporte Público de Viajeros, y fueron suscritos por el Gobierno Vasco, la Diputación Foral de Bizkaia, el Ayuntamiento de Bilbao y el Consorcio de Transportes de Bizkaia.
