UCampus, the UVic-UCC's new digital magazine

Today sees the publication of the first issue of Ucampus digital magazine, the window that is opening up to provide news about university life at the University of Vic - Central University of Catalonia (UVic-UCC) - an institution that works towards the training and growth of people, and which has very close links with the region thanks to its campuses in Vic, Manresa, Granollers and Barcelona. The digital magazine will instantly reach a much wider audience in a much more sustainable way, and provide much more comprehensive information than was the case in the printed version of the magazine Campus.

It also marks a change in the approach to news about university life at the UVic-UCC, as it will be focusing on the main areas of university life - teaching, research, knowledge transfer and social and institutional responsibility. These topics highlight the University's growth and its commitment to its surrounding area, the future and the improvement of society. 

UCampus aims to be a continuation of the magazine Campus, which began life in the 1990-1991 academic year as the voice of University Studies at Vic, and subsequently of the University of Vic. Its format was changed in 2006, and it became a quarterly full-colour magazine, aimed primarily at an external audience (students' families, internship centres and collaborating institutions).

The U before the word Campus in this new format is the identifying logo of the UVic-UCC, and is a typographical feature bringing together the two campuses (UVic and UManresa) and the University's regional bases at UGranollers and the UVic-UCC in Barcelona. UCampus will appear twice a year, and will highlight the most important aspects of the university that may be of interest to a wider international audience. The magazine is published in three languages - Catalan, Spanish and English - for the same reason.

The magazine is aimed at a considerably larger audience than the magazine in paper format, as the distribution can be much more flexible and global: students and families, alumni, internship centres, media, educational institutions, collaborating organisations and companies, research centres, etc. It also aims to enhance the level of institutional communication, with a more in-depth and rigorous thorough to events and activities in the training, research and knowledge transfer fields, and those related to the territorial and international sphere, because these will be discussed by those involved whenever possible.
