The URV coordinates the VIII meeting to advance inclusion plans
Víctor Moreno, Commissioner for Equality and Diversities at the Rovira i Virgili University (URV), not only attended but also opened the inaugural panel of the VIII Meeting of the Network of Universities for Diversity (RUD). And this is no small matter: the URV assumes coordination of an event that drives Spanish universities to rethink inclusion.
On May 21 and 22, the University of Alcalá de Henares hosted more than 44 universities. The goal? To define university inclusion plans that go beyond reactive protocols, as required by article 46.2.l of the Organic Law of the University System (LOSU).
The key role of the URV in the Network of Universities for Diversity
Coordination of the meeting edition
The URV does not limit itself to participating; it leads. This responsibility makes Tarragona, indirectly, the focus of a network working against inequalities. Coordination involves organizing, promoting, and ensuring that the contents comply with the regulations that require the creation of inclusion and non-discrimination plans.
Institutional presence and representation
Víctor Moreno represents not only the URV but also the commitment that the Tarragona university has to diversity and inclusion. His presence at the opening panel highlights the active role that the URV plays in this area and its willingness to drive real changes in the academic community.
Contents and objectives of the VIII Meeting of the Network of Universities for Diversity
Main theme: the law that requires advancing beyond protocols
Article 46.2.l of the LOSU sets the course: it is not only about addressing isolated cases but implementing inclusion plans that regard diversity as an asset. This regulation obliges universities to leave behind reactivity and move to proactive action.
Themes and shared work
The conferences addressed topics such as active listening to improve proper treatment, ethnic and national diversity, religious freedom, and discrimination based on serological status. In addition, the participating universities work together on a basic guide for inclusion plans, which will later be presented to the CRUE and Spanish universities.
Local impact and future of inclusion in Tarragona
A boost for Tarragona universities
The URV, at the forefront of this movement, places Tarragona on the map of university inclusion. The plans generated could directly influence how diversity is addressed within the universities of the province.
Toward more inclusive academic environments
With this leadership, Tarragona not only assumes an institutional role but becomes a pioneer in building spaces where diversity is a driver of innovation and coexistence, and where protocols are only the starting point, not the final solution.
The reality is that this meeting marks a before and after in the way universities in Tarragona and the State approach inclusion. From now on, diversity will not be an excuse for bureaucracy but a living project that the URV ambitiously leads.
