The University of Barcelona has just published the Report on the academic year 2011-2012, in which a general account of the most outstanding activities and initiatives of the institution can be found. This latest edition follows the same design lines as other institutional publications —for example, The University of Barcelona in figures— in an attempt to make an appealing presentation of the University and its current situation. The report has been written by the Servei de Planificació i Anàlisi and edited by Publicacions i Edicions of the UB in three languages: Catalan, Spanish and English.

 
The Report on the academic year 2011-2012 is a summary of the most important information of the UB, and includes a website where readers can know more about the facts and figures given in the document. The publication is divided into five blocks: “A university spanning the centuries and serving the community”, in which the main data about the UB are summarized; “A university focused on people”, in which services to university community and institutional and culture activities are presented; “A university at the forefront of education”, which describes the academic course offering and the support services for teaching; “A university leader in research”, which makes an analysis of the research activity and the technology, knowledge and innovation transfer performed, and “A university with international reach”, focused on the international institutional activity and the mobility of the different university groups.
 
As in previous editions, each block contains the opinions given by different members of the university community: teaching and research staff, administrative and service staff and students. It also includes some extracts of articles published on national and international media which provide information about the UB. Contents are accompanied by many photographs, posters reproductions and other graphic materials, as well as by some relevant outstanding figures.
 
About 900 copies were edited; a distribution within the UB and to Catalan, Spanish and international institutions of higher education is being made.
