Fòrum de Sindicatures de Greuges Universitàries de Catalunya
On October 13, 2024, the ombudsmen and ombudswomen of the universities of the Catalan university system, meeting at the University of Girona, formed the Forum of University Ombudsmen of Catalonia (SIUCAT), without legal personality of its own and without profit motive.
The SIUCAT Forum is a space for collaboration, exchange and reflection, complementary to those that already exist and in which the ombudsmen and ombudswomen of the universities of Catalonia participate, both within the framework of the Xarxa Vives and in the State Conference of University Ombudsmen/CEDU. SIUCAT promotes joint action and the development of common strategies, as a space for debate and training, exchange of experiences, collaboration and shared work, and aims to contribute to the proper functioning of universities and to the improvement of university quality in all its areas, especially in the institutional and human spheres and in the defence of rights and freedoms, promoting discussion of the most significant issues that may arise in its activity and making proposals that are considered appropriate.
