* She requests the persons incorporating the Meeting to present themselves.
Ana Muñoz –Polytechnic of Valencia-
Isabel Miró -Rovira i Virgili-
Lucas Pérez -Las Palmas of Gran Canarias-
Juan Carlos Maroto –Granada-
* She asks for the partners’ collaboration to make the Association dynamic by means of the possible initiatives or personal contacts at the level of public institutions.
- Carmen Palmero
She asks for the sending of the appointments every time that every change in the accountable for the Programmes takes place in the university, and she recalls that, even if the University has more than one Programme, it can only have a representative with the right to speak and to vote in the Meeting. However, they can in fact attend as invited members, and who replaces a representative in the Meeting will have to hand a paper by the rector valid for that act alone.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 22.15 hours, which I, as a Secretary, attest.
