    El Partido contra la Pobreza del PNUD recauda 370 000 euros para los esfuerzos de recuperación tras el Ebola Ginebra / St-Etienne 26 de mayo de 2015 – el XII Partido contra la Pobreza disputado el pasado mes de abril en St. Etienne (Francia) que acogió a 33.913 espectadores, recaudó 370 000 euros para ayudar a las naciones de África Occidental a recuperarse de la crisis del virus del Ébola. Así se ha anunciado tras reunir todos los ingresos obtenidos de la venta de billetes, los derechos de difusión y el patrocinio del evento del 20 de abril. Dos terceras partes de la recaudación se destinarán a ayudar a los esfuerzos de recuperación de los países más afectados por la epidemia —Guinea, Liberia y Sierra Leona— mientras que la Asociación del club, ASSE Coeur-Vert, que impulsa proyectos sociales en Saint-Etienne, recibirá el tercio restante. "Con el trabajo en equipo y la solidaridad, el poder del juego global puede ayudar al esfuerzo por combatir una de las enfermedades más devastadoras de los últimos tiempos” dijo Gina Casar, Secretaria General Adjunta y Administradora Asociada del PNUD. “Los países afectados siguen necesitando el apoyo de la comunidad internacional para llegar a cero casos de Ébola, mantenerlos al cero y avanzar en el camino a la recuperación ”. Más de 20.000 personas han perdido la vida por esta enfermedad mortal y el brote ha causado una extensa crisis socio-económica de proporciones sin precedentes, con un riesgo real de que los progresos económicos y sociales alcanzados en los tres países pudieran frenarse o incluso invertirse.

  • Uefa.Com Team of the Year 2006
    Media Release Date: 06/12/2006 Communiqué aux médias No. 139 Medien-Mitteilung uefa.com Team of the Year 2006 Fans can vote online until 4 January 2007 Voting opens today for the uefa.com users’ Team of the Year 2006. The poll, now in its sixth year, gives the users of uefa.com, Europe’s football website, the chance to select a team of players who made their mark in European football over the last 12 months. Sixty players and managers have been nominated for 12 positions, including coach, and the final team will be announced on 19 January 2007 on uefa.com and in the January issue of Champions magazine. The nominees were chosen by uefa.com staff writers on the basis of their coverage of football throughout Europe on a daily basis. The players were selected for their overall performances either for a European club or national team, or in a UEFA club competition in 2006. The uefa.com Team of the Year is not intended as a rival to more established awards, and does not bear the official UEFA imprimatur. Nevertheless, it has already proved hugely popular with fans, and over eight million votes have been cast in previous polls. European champions FC Barcelona have the most nominees with eleven, while UEFA Champions League runners-up Arsenal have seven. English champions Chelsea FC have received six nominations and French champions Olympique Lyonnais and UEFA Cup holders Sevilla FC have five apiece. In total, 19 clubs have players nominated. Eight members of Italy’s FIFA World Cup-winning squad plus coach Marcello Lippi have been nominated.

This new age of faster, more collaborative, more global and more universal access to knowledge, of free production of information, requires a university that is able to respond to the new needs of people, wherever they might be, whenever they may arise and especially now at a time of crisis. This has been the focus for our efforts here at the UOC over the last academic year and is to be the focus for the com- ing years. This is the backbone to our strategic plan for 2010-2014. We will continue to drive our University to meet the needs of our community of over one hundred thousand people: students, graduates, faculty, tutors, collaborators and workers who, more than ever, want a wiki training – a training that is fast, flexible, collaborative, mobile and accessible. We have done so in our natural, global and virtual setting – the internet – and are doing so alongside other institutions and universities internationally and in Spain and Catalonia, given the fact that we will, increasingly, have to do more with less.
