Juan Carlos Cano, nuevo Director del DISCA 2012-2016

Hola a todos,

En mi nombre y en el de todo mi equipo, queremos agradecer a todo el Departamento DISCA de la UPV, la confianza que han depositado en nosotros y en nuestro programa. Daremos lo mejor de nosotros para que, trabajando “codo con codo” con todos los miembros del DISCA, podamos seguir manteniendo el prestigio y la excelencia que el DISCA ha conseguido por méritos propios desde su constitución el 30 de octubre de 1985.

Finalmente, quisiera dar las gracias de forma pública a dos personas sin cuya confianza y enseñanzas en los últimos ocho años, hoy yo no estaría aquí, y no son otros que Pedro Gil y Pedro López.

Os dejo un enlace al sitio Web utilizado durante la campaña … Pincha aquí.

Finalmente, para que os echéis unas risas os comparto un montaje que realizó mi compañero, amigo y nuevo Subdirector de investigación del DISCA, Carlos Calafate, (se aconseja leer la letra pequeña:)).

Juan Carlos Cano, Candidato a Director del DISCA 2012-16.

Hola a todos,

Os quiero informar personalmente que he presentado mi candidatura oficial a Director del Departamento de Informática de Sistemas y Computadores (DISCA) de la Universitat Politècnica de València.

En base a la experiencia adquirida como Secretario del Departamento en los últimos años, tengo  la convicción personal de estar plenamente capacitado para liderar las diferentes tareas de gobierno departamental del DISCA desde el primer momento. Esta capacidad que siento me hace estar motivado e ilusionado ante la posibilidad de dirigir a nuestro Departamento, lo cual sería para mi un tremendo orgullo y un auténtico privilegio.

Para desarrollar un programa de gobierno como el que hemos preparado para el Departamento se requiere de un equipo Competente y Motivado, junto al cual, a partir de Objetivos Claros y Trabajo en Equipo se pueda potenciar y poner en valor nuestra actividad docente e investigadora buscando siempre la Excelencia. Permitidme presumir que yo cuento con dicho equipo!

Nuestro programa se estructura alrededor de tres pilares básicos:

  1. Promover un entorno de trabajo que  favorezca la Excelencia, la Calidad  y el Reconocimiento
  2. Desarrollar una acción de gobierno cercana a las personas y a los problemas
  3. Representar al Departamento ante los diferentes órganos de la Universidad defendiendo siempre sus intereses

Si os apetece recibir información concreta de nuestro programa de Gobierno, os invito a una charla el próximo Jueves día 7 de junio a las 12h30 en el Aula 0.1 del edificio 1.E (antigua Facultad de Informática) en la que  presentaré el equipo que me acompaña y detallaré las líneas de actuación y los compromisos de gobierno que, en el caso de contar con el apoyo del Departamento,  desarrollaremos durante los próximos cuatro años.
