The meeting took place at the Hospital Real, the administrative headquarters of the University of Granada (UGR), and was chaired by Pedro Mercado, Rector of the University of Granada, and Paco Oliva, Rector of Pablo Olavide University and President of AUPA. The meeting included the presentation of the president’s report and an analysis of the work carried out by the technical committee on funding.
