STRATEGY
The University of Malaga expects that its participation in the modernization programme contributes to the achievement of the political objectives that the institution has included in its own Internationalization Strategy:
1.To increase significantly the number of graduates of higher education at all levels, especially those in the third cycle, as well as the number of new researchers, while increasing its capacity for attracting students from other countries, in order to provide human capital to Europe, contributing to the multicultural development of the knowledge society and spreading the values of democracy and those of European Higher Education internationally.
2.To improve the quality of teaching at all educational levels in order to achieve a greater impact on learning of graduates and new researchers, stimulating the creation of a new generation of highly-qualified professionals and academics of high scientific profile, more competitive internationally, holding the basic skills and abilities they need to succeed in today's society, with special emphasis on the capacity for innovation and generation of new knowledge, both basic and applied.
3.To strengthen and enrich the quality and overall performance of the university, and expand the opportunities provided to its staff, researchers and students for accessing specialized training, as well as for acquiring experiences, abilities and additional skills through short- and long-duration mobility actions, as well as through cross-border institutional cooperation by means of establishing multi-path channels both for exchange and for joint creation of knowledge.
4.To improve the mechanisms articulated by the university with the objective of strengthening the links between higher education, research and business as well as to increase its innovative impact on the social, cultural and economic development of the region through the internationalization of the so-called 'knowledge triangle', cross-border cooperation and the adoption of good practices identified by both European and international partners.
5.To increase excellence in institutional governance and day-to-day management through the implementation of more stringent planning, execution, control and follow-up procedures, allowing a quality improvement at all levels. Also, it is expected to improve the mechanisms and instruments aimed at attracting financial resources, especially those from the private sector, while intensifying the search for financial resources beyond national borders, stimulating competitiveness in the application for public funding as well as providing more resources to the initiatives of transfer of knowledge to the companies.
