The University of Barcelona has just published the Report on the academic year 2013-2014, which describes the most outstanding activities developed by the institution and its basic figures. This year's edition follows the same design lines than other institutional publications, for example The University of Barcelona in figures. The report has been written by the Rector's Technical Office and edited by Publicacions i Edicions de la UB. The Catalan version is now available. Spanish and English versions will be published in some weeks.

The Report on the academic year 2013-2014 is a summary of the most important actions developed by the UB; it also includes the website where readers can know more about the facts and figures given in the document. The publication is divided into five blocks: “A university spanning the centuries and serving the community”, which provides the basic figures and a strategic vision of the UB; “A university focused on people”, in which services for the university community as well as institutional, cultural and social activities are presented; “A university at the forefront of education”, which describes course offering and support services for teaching; “A university at the forefront of research”, which analyses the activities related to research and technology, knowledge and innovation transfer developed by the institution, and “A university with international reach”, which is focused on international institutional activity and the mobility of the different university groups.

Like in previous editions, each block contains quotes provided by different members of the university community: teaching and research staff, administrative and service staff and students. It also includes some extracts of articles published on national and international media that mention and inform about the activities described on the report. Contents are accompanied by many photographs, posters reproductions and other graphic materials, as well as by some relevant outstanding figures.

About 780 copies have been edited; 200 of them are in Spanish and 280 in English. Copies will be distributed within the University and among Catalan, Spanish and international higher education institutions.
