Goals / Remit
The UOC is a global university and a digital native. Its mission and public duty is to provide people with lifelong learning, and as a part of this, it generates knowledge in the intersection between technology and the social and human sciences.
The five values that guide the UOC’s activities are:
- Commitment: to our students, our graduates and society, to high quality service, and to innovation as a mainstay of our organization.
- Respect: for people, ideas, cultures and the world.
- Transparency: in information, data and processes.
- Professionalism: empowering people in our organization, acknowledging successes and learning from mistakes.
- Sustainability: ensuring the economic, social and environmental sustainability of our organization’s activities.Main EU files targeted
The UOC's equal-opportunity and inclusive approach to higher education has been designed to ensure that no one is left behind. What's more, our programmes aid students in becoming socially responsible citizens with a global outlook. The University also engages in research that has a social impact and forges alliances with academic and cultural institutions, international agencies and organizations from the voluntary sector.
The United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a central pillar of the UOC's pursuit to position itself as a global university. Accordingly, we are facing the world's greatest challenges head-on by generating knowledge that can be used to help our societies progress.

Meetings
Meetings
1 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
