A state-of-the-art technological university with a highly innovative learning model, providing a benchmark for quality in both teaching and R&D. This is the philosophy of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC, Open University of Catalonia), created in 1994 as one of the world’s very first completely online higher education establishments.

The UOC’s core goal is to be the university of the knowledge society, with the mission of providing lasting learning and educational opportunities, above and beyond normal planning and space limitations. To achieve these objectives, it employs people who offer quality online university education, and promotes innovative education that allows a personalised learning experience.

The Open University’s mission is to be open to people, places, methods and ideas.  The Open University promote educational opportunity and social justice by providing high-quality university education to all who wish to realise their ambitions and fulfil their potential.

Through academic research, pedagogic innovation and collaborative partnership we seek to be a world leader in the design, content and delivery of supported open learning.

The mission of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche is the study of the teaching / learning processes and systems used to achieve them; the development of innovative solutions to the problems of education and training based on a systematic approach to planning, management and evaluation of learning environments; and the study of information and communication technologies as a factor that determines new cognitive needs and as a resource for teaching / learning activities.
