Adapt or, as the saying goes, die trying. Spanish universities, pressured by the construction of the joint European higher education system, have no choice but to make important reforms, some of them structural in nature. Teaching practices, whose criteria have been established in the Bologna process, have already started the transformation process with resources that not a few have described as scarce and the difficulties inherent in any period of change. But a modern university that aspires to be competitive must include qualities that go beyond its role in social and territorial cohesion. Research and innovation, in terms of knowledge transfer, are priorities that Europe considers "non-negotiable."
