It is with deep sorrow that I share the news of the passing of Prof. Josep Rom, rector of my university (www.url.edu), a few hours after a public event we shared.
Not just a colleague, but a good friend; and above all a good person. RIP.
My condolences to his family.

Rebo amb molta tristesa la notícia del traspàs del rector de la meva universitat, el Prof. Josep Rom, poques hores després d’un acte que vàrem compartir.
Un company, un bon amic, però per sobre de tot una bona persona!
El meu condol a la seva família. Descansa en pau Josep!

Futures thinking is a much-needed strategic process in the current challenging times.

I encourage you to use this new @eua.eu document as an initial “provocation”, to spark –and hopefully inspire– your own exercise, based on your context and reality.
To define their role and respond to Europe’s drive for competitiveness, security and sustainable prosperity, universities need to take a longer-term perspective.

I hope today's grain of sand contributed to raising awareness about the importance of #ScienceDiplomacy.
In the current challenging times, let's try to make visible "the invisible bridge".
Many thanks to @stmassoc.bsky.social for the opportunity!

Two “away days” for welcoming new Board members, and to thank colleagues which term finished recently.
It has been a great opportunity for an organized handover between teams and Board champions, and for “looking beyond the next corner”, in the year we are reviewing our strategy.
