Resumen
El Plan Estratégico “Campus Carlos III”, coordinado por la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, fue uno de los cinco proyectos seleccionados en la primera convocatoria para su conversión a Campus de Excelencia Internacional “CEI – 2009”. Todas las actuaciones presentadas en esta memoria son acciones estratégicas ya planteadas en el Plan Estratégico “Campus Carlos III” y están estrechamente vinculadas con sus objetivos principales.
El primer objetivo del “Campus Carlos III” es potenciar el Postgrado, para lo que resulta imprescindible la construcción y equipamiento del nuevo edificio para Centro de Postgrado,
proyecto que se presenta como la actuación 2.i de esta memoria y que se inscribe en el área prioritaria de financiación número II de este Subprograma de Fortalecimiento: Creación de Escuelas de Doctorado y Escuelas de Posgrado internacionales e interuniversitarias.
Para aumentar la capacidad investigadora de la Universidad en su conjunto es imprescindible la captación de talento: en el Plan “Campus Carlos III” se ha desarrollado un programa específico que
cuenta con el apoyo del Banco de Santander para la captación de profesores de excelencia denominado Cátedras de Excelencia, y que se presenta como la actuación 2.ii de esta memoria, inscribiéndose en el área prioritaria de financiación número III: Políticas y actuaciones dedicadas a la atracción de talento, así como su fomento mediante políticas internas de estímulo.
Otro objetivo del “Campus Carlos III” es incrementar la capacidad de alojamiento del campus, duplicando la oferta residencial del Campus de Getafe, para ello es necesaria la construcción y
puesta en marcha de la nueva Residencia de Estudiantes, que se presenta como la actuación 2.iii de esta memoria y que se inscribe en el área prioritaria de financiación número IV: Creación y
rehabilitación de alojamientos universitarios.
La internacionalización es una de las dimensiones estratégicas del “Campus Carlos III” porque la UC3M opera en un contexto global. Ya se han realizado acciones previas con Universidades
francesas de excelencia, como se explica en la actuación 2.iv de esta memoria, que se inscriben en el área prioritaria de financiación número V: Actuaciones preparatorias de campus
transfronterizos.
El último de los objetivos del “Campus Carlos III” es culminar la adaptación al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior. La Universidad Carlos III de Madrid ha siso pionera en España en la
implantación de todos sus estudios al EEES; se ha diseñado un plan de modificación de las infraestructuras para adaptarlas al EEES que se presenta como la actuación 2.v., que se inscribe Memoria de Actuaciones en el área prioritaria de financiación número VI: Adaptación al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior.
Finalmente, se presenta una actuación dirigida al desarrollo del Plan Integral de Accesibilidad, cuyo objetivo es que el “Campus Carlos III” se constituya en un entorno libre de todo tipo de barreras y
accesible universalmente.
La financiación de todas estas actuaciones permitirá seguir avanzando en el desarrollo del Plan Estratégico “Campus Carlos III” dentro del Programa Campus de Excelencia InternacionaI.

Summary
The "Campus Carlos III" Strategic Plan, coordinated by Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, was one of five projects selected as a Campus of International Excellence in the first Spanish edition, CEI-2009. All of the actions presented in this report form part of the strategies set out in the Strategic Plan of “Campus Carlos III 2009” and therefore are closely linked to its main objectives.
The first objective of “Campus Carlos III” is to strengthen our Graduate programs. Key to accomplishing this is to build and equip a new Graduate Center. This project appears as action 2.i of this report and is listed in priority funding area number II of the Subprogram for Strengthening: Creation of Doctoral Schools and International and Interuniversity Graduate Schools.
Attracting research talent is essential in order to increase the University’s overall research capacity. The “Campus Carlos III” Project contains the Chairs of Excellence program which was developed with the support of Banco Santander and is specifically aimed at recruiting top professors. This program appears as action 2.ii of this report and is listed in priority funding area number III: Policies and actions directed at recruiting talent, as well as further fomenting that recruitment through internal stimulus policies.
Another aim of “Campus Carlos III” is to increase on-campus housing, doubling the current capacity of the Getafe campus. To this end a new Student Residence Hall must be built. This project is presented as action 2.iii of this report and is listed in priority funding area number IV: Building and renovating university housing.
Internationalization comprises one of the strategic dimensions of “Campus Carlos III” because UC3M operates within a global context. Prior activities have already been carried out with Universities of Excellence in France, as set out in action 2.iv of this report, which is listed in priority funding area number V: Preparatory actions for cross-border campus.
A further objective of the “Campus Carlos III” is the culmination of the adaptation to the European Higher Education Area. The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid was a pioneer in Spain in adapting all of its programs to the EHEA, and has designed a plan to modify infrastructures to adapt them to the EHEA. This plan is presented as action 2.v., which is listed in priority funding area number VI: Adaptation to the European Higher Education Area.
Finally, an action directed at the development of an Integral Accessibility Plan is presented. The aim of this plan is to make “Campus Carlos III” a campus of universal accessibility, free of barriers of any type.
The funding of all these actions will permit UC3M to continue to develop the “Campus Carlos III” Strategic Plan within the International Campus of Excellence Program.
I have been living and working as a teacher and translator in Spain since 1989. Most of my work has been in connection with the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (www.uc3m.es).
I spent two years as the University President's Chief of Staff in order to help with the launching of some of the University's international activities (Campus of International Excellence, Webpage in English, etc).
Prior to that, my work included collaborating with the University and individual faculty members on a variety of translation projects, including the translation of three textbooks on Statistics, through a company that I co-founded. The company has offered English language courses and language services to the University since 1993.
After 20 years at the University I decided to turn to freelance translating.
My personal interests include horse-back riding and hiking with my dogs in the mountains near my home.
