Teamwork. The transformation of university studies in Cartagena has been the work of "hundreds of people of teaching, research, administration and services who have taken advantage of the means at their disposal and overcome the difficulties to promote quality teaching, the investigation of level and the useful transfer to the companies ", according to Antonio Viedma Robles emphasized during the masterful lesson with which the UPCT has remembered the twenty anniversary of its foundation during the academic act of St. Thomas Aquinas.
The Professor of Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Engineering, who was Vice President and Vice Chancellor of the UPCT during his first years, wanted to pay tribute to his colleagues "for the university that we have built together in these twenty years and that we will continue to improve".
Viedma has recalled "figures that cry out to heaven" and evidence the "abandonment" of the campus of Cartagena, antecedent of the UPCT.
It had 15% of the students of the University of Murcia and with 25% of its degrees in the 94/95 course, but only received 3.7% of the investments in the four-year period 1991-1994.
"In addition to the construction of more classrooms or laboratories, it was necessary to transform the studies themselves.
Research and technology transfer were still very scarce on campus.
With few exceptions, the activity of the teaching staff was mostly teaching.
It was necessary to incorporate more medical professors, "he recalled during the lectio.
The master lesson has also served to show the youngest and refresh the veterans the foundational debate on the essence of the UPCT.
A generalist or specialized university and complementary with that of Murcia?
With a campus outside the city or integrated into the historic center, rehabilitating military buildings?
Viedma remarked that the chosen option entails "a problem of structural financing, derived from the size of the University, the nature of its studies and the expensive maintenance of real estate assets".
