Article 13 of Law 40/2015, of 1 October, on the legal regime of the public sector, establishes the procedure for agreeing on alternates of administrative bodies in the event of vacancy of office, absence or illness.

Article 54 of the Statutes of the Pompeu Fabra University provides that in the event of the rector’s absence, impediment or vacancy of office, the vice-rector appointed by the rector will assume her duties.

Given that the rector will be absent from Pompeu Fabra University from 1 August until 31 August 2025, both inclusive, there is a need to establish her replacement to cover all situations that may arise.

Therefore, pursuant to Article 52 of the Statutes of Pompeu Fabra University,

I HAVE HEREBY DECIDED:

One.  To appoint the vice-rector for Academic Planning, professor Sergi Torner Castells, to replace the rector in her duties from 1 August to 10 August 2025, both inclusive.

Two.  To appoint the vice-rector for Research, professor Cristina Pujadas Corbi, to replace the rector in her duties from 11 August to 17 August 2025, both inclusive.

Three.  To appoint the vice-rector for Culture and Communication, professor Raquel Bouso Garcia, to replace the rector in her duties from 18 August to 25 August 2025, both inclusive.

Four.  To appoint the vice-rector for Knowledge Transfer, professor Vanesa Daza Fernández, to replace the rector in her duties from 26 August to 31 August 2023, both inclusive.

Five.  To establish that in the resolutions issued and the proceedings undertaken as a result of this substitution, such circumstance must be recorded, the title holder of the body in whose replacement they are adopted (rector), and the person who is effectively exercising this replacement must be specified.
