Today, the energy transition, sustainability, artificial intelligence and lifelong learning directly call upon universities, as institutions responsible for generating knowledge and providing solutions. In this context, the relationship between Spain and Cuba acquires a renewed strategic dimension\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis meeting offers us the opportunity to assess what has been achieved and to project new goals. Universities have the responsibility to lead innovation and social progress, contributing to the construction of a more just, equitable and cohesive society. That is the deeper meaning of our cooperation: joining forces to positively transform our communities and to promote knowledge as a global public good,\u201d stated the President of CRUE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For his part, the Cuban Minister of Higher Education, Walter Baluja Garc\u00eda, emphasised the need to ensure the \u201ctransformation of universities through science, innovation and commitment\u201d. To this end, he argued that it is necessary to \u201cstrengthen bilateral relations\u201d, as well as \u201cjoint programmes and increased collaboration in research\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Universities, Juan Cruz Cigudosa, \u201cuniversity cooperation between Cuba and Spain represents a strategic opportunity of enormous value\u201d, and he underlined that \u201cboosting student and staff exchanges, developing joint research projects, creating academic and scientific networks, and promoting inter-university mobility are pillars that must be strengthened\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, the Rector of the University of C\u00f3rdoba, Manuel Torralbo Rodr\u00edguez, referred to the \u201cshared vocation to make the university a driver of knowledge, progress and cooperation between peoples\u201d. He also stressed that the relationship between Cuban and Spanish universities \u201cis built on respect, mutual learning and trust\u201d, adding that, in a time marked by uncertainty, universities \u201ccontinue to build bridges between countries, disciplines and generations\u201d, thereby renewing their commitment to joint research, doctoral training, academic mobility and a shared commitment to \u201csustainability, digitalisation and artificial intelligence understood as a tool for social transformation\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Five Areas of Work and a Shared Agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meeting was structured around five major thematic sessions focused on academic cooperation, doctoral training and university mobility; lifelong learning and micro-credentials; sustainability and the social commitment of universities; and the challenges and opportunities posed by artificial intelligence for higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
