The Commission

Motivation

There are students who combine their academic obligations with High-Performance (regional level) or High-Level (state level) programmes. Inclusion in these programmes involves meeting very specific requirements. The inherent demands differ significantly in accordance with the sporting activity, but in general are all very high. Some cases may require dedication in excess of 20 hours per week, along with periods spent away with the national team or competing in international events. These are students who are generally very committed both academically and in terms of sports, exponents of values that society admires but, at least in the case of Spain, only timidly supports. Effort, perseverance, discipline and the noble pursuit of objectives of excellence are part of the University's ethical heritage, and one way to promote this is to support these student sportsmen and women through mechanisms adapted to our own academic reality.

Aims

• To inform the three sectors of the university community of legislation relating to High-Performance Sport (HPS) and High-Level Sport (HLS)
• To provide advice and support to any HPS and HLS student sportsmen and women who request it, carrying out a personalised follow-up of their performance
• To offer advice and support to teachers with teaching responsibilities related to these student sportsmen and women
• To explore opportunities to support such programmes
• To inform the Management and Board of the University about all difficulties and achievements
