UC & Cantabria International Campus is based on the Knowledge Society Paradigm. The main idea of this concept is to create a state where rational messages are communicated and applied. Consequently, a global network of human interactions, based on scientific culture4, will contribute to the development of communities.
This paradigm inspired the EU Lisbon Strategy Its main objective: is to become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge‐based economy in the world, with the ability to grow in a sustainable manner and with social cohesion.
In 2008, the European Council renewed its commitment by stressing the need to invest on people, on knowledge and on innovation. It is thus of crucial importance to promote the free circulation of knowledge by improving our education system. In other words, education must serve to consolidate a truly productive economy that also fosters civic and cultural development as well as individual creativity.
