Developments: 2. In late July 2026, Galician education minister Román Rodríguez flagged a worrying financial picture at the Universidade da Coruña, noting that audit figures indicated the 2024 budget could not cover mandated salary increases and other obligations. He called for transparent and responsible management of public funds and underscored the need for a structural financing solution despite the regional government's support. Two days later, the Xunta de Galicia announced that the existing university financing plan, originally set for 2022‑2026, would be prolonged until the first quarter of 2027. Officials highlighted the plan’s “good results,” the recent changes in university leadership, and the mobilisation of over €3.3 billion in funding. A new working group was tasked with drafting a 2028‑2032 framework aimed at stable, long‑term financing, inflation protection, staff ageing, and enhancing research, teaching, and international outreach, with a target of at least 1 % of regional GDP. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-28: Galicia extends university financing plan to 2027 Galicia’s Xunta extended the 2022‑2026 university financing plan to early 2027, citing strong results and rector changes, and launched a working group to design the 2028‑2032 funding framework. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/galicia-extends-university-financing-plan-to-2027 ### 2026-07-26: Universidade da Coruña faces financial concerns, Galician education minister calls for responsible fund management Galicia's education minister Román Rodríguez deems Universidade da Coruña's finances worrisome, demanding transparent, reasonable management of public funds and structural financing to restore equilibrium. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/universidade-da-corua-faces-financial-concerns-galician-education-minister-calls-for-responsible-fun --- Cite as: Galicia university funding extension.
