The document includes 45 priority goals to drive the UIB’s future activities

Palma

The UIB Governing Council has approved the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan containing a roadmap with 45 priority goals up to the end of 2027.

A clear and coherent set of activities underpin the goals to help the university fulfil its mission as a public institution: comprehensive human development, and sustainable economic and social progress through studying, teaching, researching, innovating, and transferring and disseminating scientific knowledge and culture, with deep roots in the Balearic Islands and fully and openly embracing the wider world.

The UIB Strategic Plan is organised across three pillars:

- Key pillars, comprising the university’s three main activities: teaching, research, and transfer and culture

- Support pillars, bringing together all goals linked to management, understood as the necessary support duties to ensure the university’s main activities run properly

- Cross-cutting pillars, grouping together four essential cross-cutting areas:

• Social commitment: this encompasses all strategic goals affecting people’s well-being, such as social inclusion, cooperation for development, sustainability, equality, fundamental freedoms, graduate employability, life and activities on the campus and buildings, and the university community
• Institutional promotion: this includes the goals linked to the UIB’s reputation and how society views it, including areas such as the institution’s image, position in rankings, marketing and internationalisation
• Innovation and digitalisation: this includes all goals with largely new working methods (IT techniques, hardware and software). This pillar comprises disruptive changes, teaching innovation, e-Administration and, in general, digital transformation
• Good governance and human resources: this refers to the institution’s determination to use available (and public) resources in the best way possible, and be accountable to society through transparency and in accordance with efficiency, engagement and legal compliance criteria. This pillar includes goals linked to engagement amongst the university community, transparency, communication, quality, justice, efficiency and the fight against corruption.

The UIB Strategic Plan is based on the outline of the mission (purpose and lifeblood), vision (future success) and values (guiding principles) approved by the Governing Council on 20^th December 2022. In addition to the goals and activities, the plan also includes an analysis of the current situation of the institution’s fundamental aspects, context and challenges, and a monitoring system to assess and make any necessary changes.

A plan built around a participatory process 

The final version of the plan emerged from a process that began in June 2022. The Strategic Plan  Development and Monitoring Committee, and the UIB Office for Strategic Planning have jointly produced the plan. The development process included different participatory approaches with the university community, including teaching and research staff, students and administration and services staff on the development committee and in the working groups, a participatory survey for the entire university community, a suggestion box and public display of the draft plan prior to its final approval.
