| MEP Marcos Ros met today with the rector Beatriz Miguel | The Polytechnic of Cartagena has achieved that eight of the projects in which it participates have been chosen by the European Commission in the last call for grants from the Erasmus + program, adding a funding of more than one million euros that doubles what the projects had achieved so far of the UPCT since 2014, as the rector Beatriz Miguel has detailed today to MEP Marcos Ros.The projects seek to support the digital transformation of education, help the development of Asian and African countries and other objectives that are framed in the objectives of Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices (Key Action 2) and Support for reforms of the policies (Key Action 3) of the Erasmus + program 2014-2020. MEP Marcos Ros today visited the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, of which he was vice-rector until last year, and has met with its rector, Beatriz Miguel, with the vice-rectors for Research and Internationalization, Catalina Egea and Juan Ángel Pastor, as well as well as the head of the European Projects Office, María Jesús Legaz."The Polytechnic of Cartagena has a long and consolidated history of participation in the different research programs and academic and institutional cooperation that the European Union has financed through various programs such as Horizon 2020, Life or the Social Guarantee Fund", he recalled the rector.

Another example is the European Technological University project, in which the UPCT is one of the eight European universities participating in this supercampus."I am very confident in the ability of the UPCT to obtain European funds, for its serious and solvent work," Marcos Ros highlighted in reference to the possible new calls that will come from the Recovery Plan for Europe.The presence of the UPCT in Key Action 2 of the Erasmus + 2020 call is noteworthy with a total of 7 projects financed, a figure that could increase in the coming weeks since some proposals presented are pending resolution.

This figure includes 5 Strategic Associations, two of which are coordination, as well as 2 Capacity Development projects in the field of Higher Education (academic and institutional cooperation with universities belonging to non-industrialized countries), with the UPCT coordinating one of the these projects.

This year 2020 a project has also been achieved within Key Action 3.The Alliance of European Technological Universities deserves a special mention, which was selected by the European Commission in 2020, within the European Universities initiative of the Erasmus + program and which has funding of 5 million euros.

As a result of this work in collaboration with the consortium of universities, there are two of the projects achieved in the Strategic Partnerships modality.
