Contra el genocidi i contra la violació dels drets humans, a Gaza i arreu del món
Peace comes when you talk to the person you most hate. And that’s where the courage of a leader comes.
Desmond Tutu (1931-2021), first recipient of an honorary doctorate from UPF
These words, spoken by Desmond Tutu, the first person ever to be awarded an honorary doctorate by UPF, are more applicable today than ever. The UPF condemns, and will always condemn, the use of violence to settle disputes. At UPF, we advocate approaching political or territorial conflicts based on dialogue and respect for all peoples and minorities.
As a university, we also want to show our support to the academic community in countries at war. Universities and scientific institutions are more necessary than ever in these regions. Access to education and the promotion of critical thinking, in the context of strong independent institutions, are the way to ensure the informed debate and reflection that can open the door to new avenues for finding solutions.
At UPF, we are aware of the university community’s concern for the human rights violations we are seeing in the conflicts around us. That is why on this website you will find information about campaigns and actions related to current conflicts, as well as opinion pieces and institutional statements. We also offer a dedicated e-mail address – [email protected] – to contact the university and let us know about your interests and concerns.

L’Observatori de Neologia de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra i l’Institut d’Estudis Catalans fan una crida oberta a participar en la tria del neologisme de l’any 2019, en la línia d’iniciatives anàlogues que duen a terme diverses institucions, editorials i diaris per a nombroses llengües.
S’entén per neologisme una paraula que es fa servir en el nostre dia a dia i que, o bé no està inclosa en el Diccionari de la llengua catalana, o bé sí que hi és, però amb un significat diferent. El mot guanyador serà candidat a formar part del diccionari normatiu.
