Article 13 of Law 40/2015, of 1 October, on the legal rules governing the public sector, sets out the procedure for determining substitutions in administrative bodies in the event of a vacancy, absence or illness.

Under Article 54 of the Pompeu Fabra University Bylaws, in the event the rector is absent or indisposed or the position is otherwise vacant, the vice-rector appointed by the rector shall take up the functions thereof.

Whereas the rector shall be absent from Pompeu Fabra University during the period between 12 April and 20 April 2025, both inclusive, a substitute rector must be appointed to act in any situations which may arise.

In view of the foregoing, and by virtue of Article 52 of the Pompeu Fabra University Bylaws,

I HEREBY RESOLVE:

One: That the person who shall take up the rector’s functions during the period between 12 April and 20 April 2025, both inclusive, shall be the vice-rector for Teaching and Research Staff, professor David Comas Martínez.

Two: That this arrangement must be expressly indicated in all resolutions and instruments issued during the period of substitution, specifying the holder of the office for which the substitute is required (rector) and the appointed substitute.
