ComprarLas universidades europeas han experimentado un cambio transcendental debido a la implantación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES) y el compromiso de impulsar desde las universidades el Espacio Europeo de Investigación. El Programa "Campus de Excelencia Internacional. (CEI), promovido por la SecretarÃa General de Universidades del Ministerio de Educación, es uno de los ejes estructurales de modernización de las Universidades en España. En este contexto este obra pretende alcanzar tres metas: Permanecer como testigo editorial de la inédita movilización positiva hacia una reestructuración de las Universidades españolas en 2009, instar a la continuidad del Programa ministerial, y difundir internacional mente el patrimonio urbanÃstico y arquitecÂtónico que de las Universidades españolas. El autor aporta una lectura completa y comprometidamente transversal de la Universidad española, interpretándola subjetivamente bajo la mirada del arquitecto que dos décadas ha analizado tanto la dimensión tipológica de los recintos académicos, como la planificación de espacios educativos de nueva planta, generando conceptos originales, como el "Campus Didáctico". // European Universities, spurred by the coming into force of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and their own commitment to build the European Research Area (ERA), are steering a course towards far-reaching and irreversible change. Universities are now making a bigger impact on society and the economy, becoming more efficient in teaching and research, and lending those roles new meaning. They are to uphold the foundational principles of the Magna Charta Universitatum University autonomy, academic freedom, accountability to society and a critical spirit. European Universities aspire to improve and modernize in consonance with the proposals put forward in the European Commission Communication of May 2006, Delivering on the Modernisation Agenda for Universities. To press on with achieving change, Spain has set in motion its Estrategia Universidad 2015, a dynamic and interactive process by which public authorities, University communities and social and economic actors come together to bring into being a modern, powerfully capable and internationally recognized University establishment that attains to excellence in its teaching and research, its knowledge transfer and its physical environment. One of the vectors of modernization of Spanish Universities is an initiative of the Secretariat General of Universities, a division of the Spanish Ministry of Education: the Campus of International Excellence Program. In this venture, a key role falls to be played by the theme University-City-Territory, embedded within one of the four ambits of the Estrategia Universidad 2015: Environment. That theme, in its turn, comprises Universities' Social and Economic Contribution within the Territory and Sustainable Universities. In this institutional, academic and conceptual milieu of change, this book, Spain-Campus of International Excellence, pursues a threefold aim: To stand as an editorial testimony of Spanish Universities' hitherto unseen drive of 2009 towards restructuring and renewal. To build on the strengths of the Ministry's Program and support its continuity by deploying an array of arguments directed to future development. To raise international awareness of the value and significance of the urban planning and architectural heritage of the Universities of Spain. This strength is of a piece with the Universities' qualitative underpinnings: their educational mission, their shared role in innovation, their synergies with host cities, and their relationship with society. The author unfolds a comprehensive and consciously interdisciplinary vision of the Spanish University from the subjective viewpoint of an architect. Pablo Campos Calvo-Sotelo has explored the rich and varied realm of academic architecture for the past two decades, and has himself designed new educational spaces. He is the originator of a number of innovative concepts, such as the "Educational Campus." At this critical juncture in the history of Higher Education in Spain and Europe, the author hopes that Spain-Campus of International Excellence encourages Universities to persevere in their forward movement towards goals that society can neither waive nor ignore; a movement towards healthy competition for a multifaceted quality in teaching, research, social impact, planning and architecture that transcends geographic and intellectual boundaries.
