THE GEF MOVEMENT CONTINUES
As an educational community we continually seek innovation in learning models. That is why we created the Global Education Forum to debate with the international community and promote the transformation of education.
Our four strategic axes

Entrepreneurship and innovation, through our courses such as the Degree in Entrepreneurship and accelerators such as SEKLAB – Edtech Accelerator and the UCJC Impact Lab.

Technology and digitization to improve adaptation processes in the face of the digital transformation of today’s society. That is why we developed the Computing and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CAILab), a leading standard in R&D at UCJC.

Social impact because we play a crucial role in achieving the SDGs by contributing to and reinforcing the interests of students and the social impact that their present and future actions should have. All this through the different projects developed by the Camilo José Cela University Foundation.

Wellbeing to ensure personal balance, both physical and emotional, which may have a direct impact on the processes of acquiring content and skills, hand in hand with the UCJC BeWell Center.

UCJC COMPETENCES MODEL
We live in a world characterised by interdependence, complexity and change, in which, in addition to updated and innovative education in each field of work specialisation, it is essential to be interdisciplinary and to have a set of transversal skills that complement this academic and professional training. These skills are tackled in a set of areas that range from the personal to the social sphere, promoting a holistic transformation process through learning.
To do this, The Hive (La Colmena) offers experiential learning based on our strategic axes: entrepreneurship, digitization, social impact and well-being.
