La UGR diseña nuevas estrategias para atraer alumnos de América y el Magreb

– La UGR diseña nuevas estrategias para atraer alumnos de América y el Magreb.
De Asia es de donde llegan menos estudiantes y trabajan en ampliar los convenios En los programas de posgrado más del 30% de universitarios son extranjeros.

La Universidad de Granada (UGR) ha duplicado y en algunos casos incluso ha triplicado en el último lustro el número de alumnos enviados y recibidos a través de programas de movilidad. En sus campus acuden a clase estudiantes de decenas de países de la Unión Europea y del resto del mundo, no obstante, hay zonas que aún no están consolidadas. Son el Magreb, América, Asia y países árabes. El porcentaje de alumnos -menor que el que participa en Europa- también ha crecido, pero en la institución entienden que aún hay que hacer un esfuerzo para que se consolide.

En el vicerrectorado de Relaciones Internacionales de la Universidad granadina quieren que tanto la institución como la ciudad tengan «alumnos de calidad» y muchos jóvenes paseándose por la capital de la Alhambra. Así, el vicerrector del ramo, Manuel Díaz Carrillo, explica que la apuesta de futuro es «consolidar América Latina y el Magreb». En el programa de movilidad de estudiantes del Magreb, países árabes y Mediterráneo está previsto que participen este curso unos 52 alumnos de la UGR que viajarán fuera y 15 que llegarán de estos países. Están pendientes, entre otras actuaciones, de firmar un nuevo acuerdo con Damasco.

En el caso de América Latina el incremento de plazas es mayor. En el curso 2001/2002 se fueron a estos países once alumnos y para el próximo año se ofertan 130 para venir y 145 para que los alumnos granadinos se vayan. A estas actuaciones se suman algunos proyectos de la Unión Europea, de ámbito nacional y autonómico con la convocatoria de diferentes becas. Los principales puntos de destino son México, Brasil, Chile y Colombia.

Nuevos convenios

Estados Unidos y Canadá son otros de los destinos de los estudiantes de la UGR y también desde donde llegan nuevos alumnos. Vienen casi tres veces más que los que se van. En este curso la UGR ha recibido 210 jóvenes de estos países y ha enviado 48. Según explica el vicerrector Díaz Carrillo son varios de los destinos con los que más cuesta cerrar y firmar convenios.

Asia-Pacífico es uno de los sitios claves en los que habrá que trabajar más. Si bien, ya hay perfiladas nuevas firmas de convenios -Universidad de Seúl-. Se mantiene como un gran objetivo China. Lo que será una realidad no muy tarde será la puesta en marcha del Instituto Confucio. Sólo se han ido este año 11 y han llegado 12 jóvenes universitarios en el marco de los países de Asia-Pacífico.

Al margen de estas cifras y de las nuevas actuaciones, la Universidad granadina es una de las instituciones universitarias con un «gran» mapa de participación y movilidad de estudiantes. Son más los que vienen que los que se van. En sus facultades y escuelas es muy frecuente ver a alumnos de decenas de países y eso se traduce en las calles de la capital. A Granada llegan cada año miles de universitarios de diferentes países. El europeo es el continente que más aporta. Sólo en el programa Sócrates-Erasmus lo hacen este curso casi dos mil.

En los programas de posgrado es donde el índice de alumnos extranjeros es mayor. Este curso representan el 32%. América Latina es la que más contribuye (63%) a estos programas, seguida de países árabes (18%), Unión Europea (15%) y otros países (4%). Díaz Carrillo destaca la importancia de que lleguen alumnos a la UGR para participar en estas ofertas académicas y de que la institución destaque por su «calidad».

Estos porcentajes son mucho menores en el cómputo de alumnos de grado. En el caso de los enviados la estadística de estudiantes extranjeros con matrícula regular representa el 3,3% (1.900) y los recibidos el 7,2%. En opinión de Díaz Carrillo, el porcentaje de los enviados es «aún bajo». Agrega que «lo óptimo sería que se duplicara». Si se suman los estudiantes de grado, posgrado, Centro de Lenguas Modernas y Formación Continua se eleva la cifra a 9.442 alumnos matriculados, o lo que es lo mismo el 12,5%.

Neanderthal Extinction Hypothesis Offered

– Neanderthal Extinction Hypothesis Offered.

A Spanish study suggests climate changes might have caused the extinction of the Neanderthals on the Iberian Peninsula.

The University of Granada study of Gorhams cave on Gibraltar shows the Neanderthal extinction could have been determined by environmental and climate changes, and not by competitiveness with modern humans.

Professor Miguel Ortega Huertas, who led the research, said the findings of the multi-disciplinary research are an important contribution to the understanding of the Neanderthal extinction and the colonization of the European continent by Homo sapiens.

– Climate change was the cause of Neanderthal extinction in the Iberian Peninsula

By Universidad de Granada
This release is also available in Spanish.

Climate – and not modern humans – was the cause of the Neanderthal extinction in the Iberian Peninsula. Such is the conclusion of the University of Granada research group RNM 179 – Mineralogy and Geochemistry of sedimentary and metamorphic environments, headed by professor Miguel Ortega Huertas and whose members Francisco José Jiménez Espejo, Francisca Martínez Ruiz and David Gallego Torres work jointly at the department of Mineralogy and Petrology of the University of Granada (Universidad de Granada [http://www.ugr.es]) and the Andalusian Regional Institute of Earth Sciences (CSIC-UGR).

Together with other scientists from the Gibraltar Museum, Stanford University and the Japan Marine Science & Technology Center (JAMSTEC), the Spanish scientists published in the scientific journal Quaternary Science Reviews an innovative work representing a considerable step forward in the knowledge of human ancestral history. The results of this multidisciplinary research are an important contribution to the understanding of the Neanderthal extinction and the colonisation of the European continent by Homo Sapiens.

During the last Ice Age, the Iberian Peninsula was a refuge for Neanderthals, who had survived in local pockets during previous Ice Ages, bouncing back to Europe when weather conditions improved.

Climate reconstructions

The study is based upon climate reconstructions elaborated from marine records and using the experience of Spanish and international research groups on Western Mediterranean paleoceanography. The conclusions point out that Neanderthal populations did suffer fluctuations related to climate changes before the first Homo Sapiens arrived in the Iberian Peninsula. Cold, arid and highly variable climate was the least favourable weather for Neanderthals and 24,000 years ago they had to face the worst weather conditions in the last 250,000 years.

The most important about these data is that they differ from the current scientific paradigm which makes Homo Sapiens responsible for the Neanderthal extinction. This work is a contribution to a new scientific current – leaded by Dr. Clive Finlayson, from the Gibraltar Museum – according to which Neanderthal isolation and, possibly, extinction were due to environmental factors.

###
These studies on climate variability are part of the work of the group RNM 179, funded by the excellence project RNM 0432 of the Andalusian Regional Government’s Department for Innovation, Science and Business and by the MARCAL project of the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science, both linked to the Andalusian Environment Centre (CEAMA – Centro Andaluz de Medio Ambiente).
