SEK INTERNATIONAL ADVISORY BOARD
The SEK Education Group International Advisory Board is an advisory body set up as part of its new internationsation strategy.
The team is made up of top-level, world-renowned intellectuals and professionals and will give advice that will be key to outline the lines of action to explore and tackle the major challenges facing SEK and the University Camilo José Cela for the coming years. The International Advisory Board was set up, as is set forth in its Mission Statement, with the conviction that “we live in times that are not only changing but are very volatile and uncertain in terms of the economic model, social structure, cultural patterns and, in general, all of human experience. The education system is an integral part of this global soul-searching”.
