National Reforms in Higher Education Published on Eurydice (https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/national-policies/eurydice) Higher education is integrated by: university education advanced vocational training s [1]pecialised education: [1] advanced artistic education, plastic arts and design professional studies and advanced sports education. Advanced vocational training: post-compulsory non-university education with a clear professional orientation. University education: with an academic orientation and longer than non-university higher education. 2021 Draft Law on University Coexistence In September 2021, the Council of Ministers approved the Draft Law on University Coexistence [2] proposed by the Ministry of Universities. In this last quarter of the year, its parliamentary proceedings will be carried out in both houses, Congress and Senate. The new text seeks to establish the appropriate framework for members of the university community to be able to exercise their fundamental rights and freedoms essential for the development of our democracy, such as ideological and religious freedom, freedom of expression, rights to assembly, association and demonstration, as well as freedom of teaching, academic freedom and the right to education, among others, through the creation and protection of coexistence environments democratically set by the universities themselves. Consequently, this document will establish the bases of coexistence in the university environment. Its publication will lead to the repeal of the Regulation of Academic Discipline of Higher Education Centres which dates back to 1954. Draft Law of the Organic Law of the University System In August 2021, the Council of Ministers approved the preliminary draft Law of the University System [3] proposed by the Ministry of Universities. In this last quarter of the year, its parliamentary proceedings will be carried out in both houses, Congress and Senate. The main proposals of the Law are: commitment to a quality university system; equity, a fundamental tool for a democratic university; the university as a source of production and transfer of knowledge, and of quality employment; lay the foundations to end precariousness at the university: a priority objective; equal opportunities to access the University; internationalization of universities; a law as a fundamental tool for the future and for sustainable growth. Strategic Plan for Subsidies by the Ministry of Universities 2021-2023 The Minister of Universities recently approved the Strategic Plan for Subsidies 2021-2023 [4], with the aim of helping the planning, execution and monitoring of the subsidies managed by the Ministry. This plan seeks to carry out a more effective and efficient management, as well as a more transparent operation. The plan consists of 5 strategic objectives and 11 specific objectives: STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES Facilitate access and permanence at 1.1 University Improvement of citizens' Guarantee the fundamental right to 1.2 competencies for their personal and education, as well as equity and equal professional life. 1 opportunities of access and permanence in the Spanish education Promotion of the participation of the system most representative social agents and 1.3 student associations to guarantee the effectiveness of the right to education 2.1 Visiting and mobility Re-qualification of teaching and 2 Improvement of the abilities to access investigation staff 2.2 and exercise of teaching and research duties in the university Promotion of scientific and university 3.1 vocations, promoting the research- Promote scientific and technical 3 oriented spirit in young people. research and innovation in all sectors Attraction of research talent from 3.2 abroad Promotion of the internationalization 4.1 of educational institutions and centres Promote the internationalization of the Promotion of international student 4 4.2 Spanish university system mobility. 4.3 Promotion of international cooperation Improvement of digital infrastructures, 5 Digitise the Spanish university system 5.1 equipment, technologies, teaching and evaluation Scholarships and study aid for the school year 2021/2022 The budget for scholarships and study aid has increased by more than 128 million, to 2038 million euros, in part to include the entry of new beneficiaries because of the crisis derived from the Covid-19 pandemic. It is the third consecutive year that its funding has increased. Since 2018, the budget has increased by 39.6% and the number of beneficiaries by 24.5%. The deadline to apply for general scholarships for university students is October 14, inclusive. All information on requirements, deadlines, amounts and procedures to be eligible for these scholarships and grants is available on the scholarships website [5] of the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (MEFP) and the Ministry of Universities. The goal is to centralize the information and make it more accessible. According to the estimations of the MEFP and the Ministry of Universities, some 850 000 students will benefit from this call for general scholarships: 390 000 of them from university education and 460 000 from non-university education. New Organic Law on Education LOMLOE On January 19, 2021, the Law on Education 3/2020 (LOMLOE [6]) which amends Law 2/2006 became effective. Its coming into force has repealed Law 8/2013 for the improvement of educational quality. This new educational law has also introduced changes in Organic Law 6/2001 for Universities. University admission exam: The system based on the grade obtained in the Bachillerato and the admission exam is fully restored. The admission procedure to universities is reestablished under conditions of equality, regardless of where the previous studies were carried out or the specific need for educational support or disability. The Government will establish the basic regulations that allow universities to set the admission procedures for those who have passed the admission exam. More access arrangements are given in the university admission exam so as not to discriminate against students with a specific need for educational support and to guarantee universal accessibility for people with disabilities. Access to advanced level of Vocational Training: The degree of Professional Training Technician will allow access to both the Advanced training cycles and the Professional Teaching of Plastic Arts and Design. Advanced Artistic Education: Those who have the Bachillerato degree, or the Professional Training Technician degree and pass a more personalized test will be able to access to the Advanced degree in plastic arts and design. Likewise, those who hold the degree of Plastic Arts and Design Technician will be able to access these studies. The equivalence between advanced degrees is reinforced and those students who pass the corresponding studies will be able to obtain the title of Bachelor Degree in Advanced Artistic Education. Digitisation Plan for the University System This project, developed by the Ministry of Universities and which has European funds, will have a budget of 142.85 million euro. Its fundamental objectives are, firstly, to have adequate technical, material and human resources to modernize the Spanish university system, significantly improving the relationship between the digital world and the academic world. Secondly, to stimulate innovation and digital transformation from universities. It is a priority of the Ministry of Universities to help universities to become central actors in the digital transformation processes that are taking place in our societies. Likewise, this plan seeks to develop strategic projects in the field of educational innovation by launching a selected set of projects of strategic nature - in the field of digital training - that function as prototypes, and that operate at interuniversity levels. For more information, see Plan de Digitalización [7] New programmatic strategy of the Ministry of Universities The education of people, equal opportunities for all, economic, scientific and technological development, cultural creation, the affirmation of ethical and civic values, the construction of identity, the learning of tolerance and solidarity between humans, and the defence of intellectual freedom and expression through the stimulation of a critical spirit depend on the University. For these principles to be applied, institutional policies supported by a stable regulatory framework are necessary. The new programmatic strategy is organized in the following areas: Public university, free and with quality of education: priority to the student body The university as knowledge producer The university at the service of society A university that contributes to economic development and the creation of quality employment A differentiated and competitive university system An internationalized university The University as a space of freedom and cultural debate An equitable university An autonomous, democratic and participatory University A university with adequate funding from the regional budgets through the corresponding State transfers For more information, see Estrategia programática [8] Financing of the REACTIVAFP 20/21 plan and other programs related to VET The Council of Ministers, at the proposal of the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (MEFP), has approved an investment of 33 million euros for different educational programs of territorial cooperation with the Autonomous Communities in the field of Vocational Training, in which Advanced Vocational Training is also included. These agreements were approved

  • The European Recovery Plan: the Figures for Spain
    ARI 35/2021 (English version) 22 March 2021 The European Recovery Plan: the figures for Spain Enrique Feás | Senior Research Fellow, Elcano Royal Institute, and State Economist and Trade Expert (Técnico Comercial y Economista del Estado) | @EnriqueFeas Federico Steinberg | Senior Analyst, Elcano Royal Institute, and Lecturer in Political Economy at Madrid’s Universidad Autónoma | @steinbergf Theme The shape of the European Recovery Fund is becoming clearer. This analysis looks at the figures for Spain. Summary The European Recovery Fund, in combination with the other European initiatives to respond to the economic crisis caused by COVID-19, will see almost €2 trillion of investment in Europe over the coming years. Spain is set to receive around €200 billion of this sum, with around €150 billion coming from the Recovery Fund and over €80 billion in transfers. This paper examines these figures in detail. Analysis (1) Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound economic impact throughout Europe. Against a backdrop of extremely challenging circumstances and faced with fears of a collapse of the single market and the appearance of major divergences between northern and southern Member States, last summer the EU approved an unprecedented fiscal response to the crisis. At the heart of the response lies its most innovative element: the Next Generation EU (NGEU) programme, better known as the Recovery Fund. The programme complements the bold steps taken by the European Central Bank (ECB) to maintain liquidity and avert a sovereign debt crisis, new credit lines approved by the European Stability Mechanism and the European Investment Bank, the Support to mitigate Unemployment Risks in an Emergency (SURE) scheme by the European Commission, and the approval of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for 2021- 27.

    R&D AND INNOVATION IN SPAIN: IMPROVING THE POLICY MIX EDITA Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología (FECYT) © OECD, 2007 MAQUETACIÓN Jorge del Barrio IMPRIME Lettergraf DEPÓSITO LEGAL M-25962-2007 FECHA DE PUBLICACIÓN 15 de Mayo de 2007 La traducción de este documento se ha realizado bajo la responsabilidad de la FECYT. FOREWORD This peer review of Spain’s “policy mix for R&D and innovation” is the second such review carried out by the OECD Working Party on Innovation and Technology Policy (TIP) as part of its effort to assess the policy mix for research and innovation policies. This review, requested by the Spanish authorities, complements the larger OECD country reviews of innovation policy underway in the TIP’s mother committee, the Committee for Scientific and Technological Policy (CSTP) as well as the recent OECD Economic Survey of Spain 2006 which contained a special chapter on innovation. The report reflects the findings that emerged from meetings in Madrid between an international panel of experts and the key stakeholders in the areas of R&D and innovation policy on 6-9 November 2006. It also draws on and reflects the input from a background paper commissioned by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT), on behalf of the Spanish government. The background paper is attached as an annex to the main report. A first draft of this report was discussed at a meeting of OECD’s Working Party on Technology and Innovation Policy at The Hague, the Netherlands in December 2006 and was subsequently reviewed by policy makers and other stakeholders in Madrid on 22 January 2007.

Description of Reforms and Investments A. COMPONENT 01: SUSTAINABLE, SAFE AND CONNECTED MOBILITY SHOCK PLAN IN URBAN AND METROPOLITAN ENVIRONMENTS This component of the Spanish recovery and resilience plan addresses challenges concerning air quality, which mainly affect major metropolitan areas, and have led to more than 20 000 premature deaths in Spain in 2018. The overarching objective of the reforms and investments in this component is to transit towards a clean, safe and smart urban mobility. The specific objectives pursued by this component are the following: accelerate the implementation of low-emission zones in all municipalities with more than 50 000 inhabitants and the capitals of the provinces, and the penetration of electric mobility; promote active mobility, as well as other measures to help reduce the use of private cars; the digital and sustainable transformation of the public transport sector as a real alternative to the use of private vehicles; improving the quality and reliability of the short-distance railway services to increase its effective use in metropolitan environments, to the detriment of the private vehicle; optimising traffic management and facilitating decision making to promote cleaner mobility. The component addresses the Country Specific Recommendations on promoting public and private investment and fostering the green transition (Country Specific Recommendation 3 2020), promoting investments in innovation and in energy efficiency (Country Specific Recommendation 3 2019), as well as on strengthening cooperation across level of governments (Country Specific Recommendation 4 2019).

  • Legislation and Bodies
    CONEIXEMENT I SOCIETAT 09 ARTICLES SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS: LEGISLATION AND BODIES Carles Perelló* and Mariona Riera** Individual countries need to exercise care in relation to their policies for fostering science and innovation, so as to avoid situations of technological dependence and, in turn, political and economic dependence. Countries with a greater legislative tradition tend to pass specific laws that regulate both knowledge acquisition at schools/ uni- versities and scientific/technological research, as also laws to foster the application of knowledge in the pro- ductive sector. However, in other countries, and even though there may be legislation governing specific policy areas, the system is allowed to develop more freely, generally on the basis of recommendations issued by a ran- ge of agencies, councils and other institutions. This article describes the most salient features of a range of sys- tems for fostering science and technology implemented in a number of countries. Contents 1. Introduction 2.
