🔬 Polytechnic Identity

We are part of UPV and share its technological culture, its orientation toward the application of knowledge, and its commitment to serving society.

The FADE 2026–2030 Strategic Plan is structured around two main strategic lines that define the institutional horizon, and is deployed through four cross-cutting action axes that act as enabling mechanisms common to all projects.

L1

Academic Excellence

Strengthening the quality of training programmes, teaching innovation, quality assurance processes and academic monitoring of students. Includes regulatory adaptation, implementation of new degrees, re-accreditation and continuous improvement.

L2

Impact

Institutional projection, external visibility, connection with the professional and social environment, internationalisation and strengthening of the Faculty's relational ecosystem with companies, administrations, alumni and other collaborating entities.

Cross-cutting Action Axes

The four cross-cutting mechanisms run across all projects of the Plan, acting as complementary layers that enhance the impact of each initiative.

⚙️
Processes

Structuring and formalisation of institutional procedures, ensuring clear, auditable and sustainable frameworks for action.

📊
Data

Generation of reliable, traceable and comparable information that supports evidence-based academic and institutional decision-making.

📢
Communication

Effective transmission of decisions, results and initiatives to all relevant audiences, reinforcing the identity and projection of FADE.

🤖
Artificial Intelligence

Progressive integration of AI to support institutional analysis, teaching and learning, student services, and relational and communication management.

Responsible AI Principles

FADE will adopt artificial intelligence progressively and only for clearly defined uses where it provides concrete institutional or educational value.

Progressive deployment AI solutions will be piloted, evaluated and introduced gradually.
Human oversight AI will support, but not replace, academic, institutional, professional or editorial judgement.
Regulatory compliance AI applications will comply with Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, the European Artificial Intelligence Act.
How the Plan Creates Change
FADE's projects operate as an interconnected system. Institutional culture influences faculty development, teaching practices, student competencies, employability and, ultimately, the Faculty's reputation and ability to attract students, talent and projects.

These effects are not immediate. Decisions taken today may require several academic years to produce visible results. The Plan therefore promotes early successes that build confidence, encourage adoption and help overcome cultural and organisational resistance to change.
AI Readiness Alignment

⚠️ Risks
• Incomplete identification of existing activities or relationships.
• Lack of homogeneity in information provided by different units.
• Generation of an inventory of little use for subsequent management.
🛡️ Mitigation Plan
• Use a common information collection template and a shared basic classification.
• Carry out a brief validation with managers of the main units involved.
• Design the inventory with a practical approach, oriented towards subsequent coordination and monitoring.
PA1.2

Definition of the Annual Co-creation and Prioritisation Process for FADE Challenges
