We want to become a smart University that improves the lives of people and the work of our staff and students. We want to be a University with a technological infrastructure that is appropriate for the size of our institution and supports the full range of activities we undertake. We want to rely on highly qualified and sufficient technical staff to support and facilitate the development of the institution's basic functions. We want to consolidate our technological autonomy by strengthening our communication networks and maintaining a budget sufficient to ensure their continuous modernisation. We want to continue to build strategic alliances with prominent technology companies and operators in the sector that can contribute to the full digital transformation of the institution.

Proposals
Bridging the gender gap in digital transformation
The digital transformation we want must improve people·s lives by achieving greater equality. To this end, we must narrow the gender gap and promote an inclusive digital transformation in our University, fostering digital competences that enable the participation of women in all areas of our institution. In addition, we must promote scientific career paths and university training for women in STEM fields, as well as introduce a gender lens into research on areas such as artificial intelligence, so as to prevent and detect bias in design and thus make technology more inclusive for everyone. We must also harness the capabilities of digital technologies to create strategies, such as teleworking, that promote a work -life balance.
Future milestones
- To effectively implement electronic administration in all processes over the period covered by the plan.
- To effectively implement a data governance model and the use of data science tools for support in management.
- To allocate around 5% of the annual budget to qualified staff, infrastructures and services in information and communication technology in order to achieve a degree of digital maturity in line with the size and prestige of the UGR (in 2021 this percentage was around 1.5%).
- To develop strategies for adopting technologies that are innovative, advanced or emerging, as artificial intelligence, cloud, blockchain, virtual/augmented/mixed reality, robotisation and the Internet of Things are today, during the period covered by the plan.
