Dear Students,
The official opening of an academic year is a recurring ceremonial event. We do it every year and it is one rites that marks the start of educational activity, the heart beat of the University which, once again, opens its doors to constant research and transmission of knowledge.
But, at the same time, it is also a space that is renewed every year and with the embers of the university community, expressing the desire for both continuity and renewal. Continuity in knowledge and renewal in the tools that need to be used for social progress.
This year’s inauguration, however, will be different. It will not be how it was before, how it has been until now. As a matter of fact, there will be no ceremony. But there is the academic year. And there will continue to be academic years. Because, with or without ceremony, we are starting with the same enthusiasm and wishes that we have always expressed at one of the University’s most important events. We’re not opening the academic year but rather starting it, experiencing it, taking part in it and making it ours.
Which is why, to gauge the UdG’s consistency, appraise its robustness and understand its contribution to the common good, I invite you to read and revise the last academic year's report. A certainly anomalous year where we have reclaimed the essential values of our work in critical circumstances. As we observe what we have done, we will also know what we are required to do from now on. An impact that it leaves mark, that of our University.
A very good year to all of you.
Quim Salvi The Rector
