This report is an invitation to understand the university project that inspires us. Through data and indicators, it offers a reading of a much richer reality: the one that gives meaning to our academic, research and welfare activities, and the one that is concretized in the impact we generate in people's lives and in society.
This transformation would not be possible without the constant and generous effort of those who make the mission statement of the University of Navarra a reality, day after day. Students, professors, researchers, administrative and service staff .... To all of them, thank you for your silent and effective dedication. And also to the many people, organizations and institutions that, with their trust and support, make it possible for this project to continue growing and leaving a positive and lasting mark.
With an eye on the coming years, the 2025-30 strategy will outline the priorities that will guide our path. A horizon that combines ambition and identity, reinforcing our commitment to comprehensive training , research with impact and service to society.
María Iraburu, president of the University of Navarra
