The fusion of 15 university schools and faculties in six big centres, performed by the University of Oviedo in the framework of the CEI's hallmark, is an example to follow. This is the recommendation which has been suggested by specialists of the University Strategy 2015 report. A document which recommends long-term improvement ways and strategies for Spanish Universities.

The report has been elaborated by an international commission of five experts, by previous requirement of the Ministry of Education. After more than a year of work, it was presented last Monday by the representative of Education, Ángel Gabilondo.
