Spanish championships
Spanish University Championships, which are supported by the Higher Sports Council of the Ministry of Education and Culture, are the highest level of university sport at the state level.
The athletes and teams that are most successful in Catalan University Championships may participate in Spanish University Championships in accordance with the specific technical regulations of each competition.
Catalan championships
Organisation of Catalan University Championships is carried out by the ECU (Esport Català Universitari) with the financial support of the General Directorate of Sports and the Department of Universities, Research and the Information Society. The ECU is made up of representatives from all Catalan universities.
In these championships, all students who stand out for their sporting excellence in the various types of competition may participate in representation of Abat Oliba CEU University.
Promoting Health at University
Providing a healthy work environment is essential in improving the health of our university community, but it also improves productivity, motivation, job satisfaction and overall quality of life.
The Governing Council, in a meeting held on 12 November 2010, approved the conversion of our University into a “Healthy University”.
At the beginning of 2008, the Sports Service of the UAO CEU started to work on the methods that would help us achieve “Healthy University” status.
In December 2010, REUS (the Spanish Network of Healthy Universities) and the Spanish Ministry of Health, Social Policy and Equality approved our project and appointed UAO CEU as a full member.
UAO CEU thereby became the first private university in Catalonia and Spain to be accredited as a “Healthy University”.
The Governing Council of our University undertook to create a team to allocate the necessary resources to bring the project to fruition.
REUS (Spanish Network of Healthy Universities) has signed an agreement with the Ministry of Health, Social Policy and Equality laying out the details of a general agreement between CRUE, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health, Social Policy and Equality.
As a result of our inclusion in this network, we have been involved in several committees of inquiry into:
- Healthy habits and physical activity in REUS (the Spanish Network)
- Audit Group of US CAT (the Catalan Network)
- Health Habits Group of US CAT (the Catalan Network)
All “public health” bodies have requested “Campus of Excellence” status be linked to “Healthy University” status.
