Among the issues to consider, from the point of training, the need to incorporate certain training contents that allow scientific studies on works of art, new digital formats, collaboration with other scientific disciplines (chemical, computer ...) for the development of the digital Humanities, etc.
All this without forgetting the development of transversal skills and language proficiency.
It has been put in value that organizations and companies increasingly hire humanist profiles, due to society's demand to focus on people and their values.
Also the companies represented have asked for help from the University of Murcia to speed up the bureaucratic relations between the University and the companies when selecting students for the realization of practices and the possibility of carrying out specific collaborations.
But also the need to generate structures that promote the transfer in Humanities.
