Today, Thursday January 19, María Enciso Alonso-Muñumer has been named dean of the new Faculty of Law and Politics of the Rey Juan Carlos University. The appointment took place in Vicálvaro, on the Madrid campus, and was attended by Enrique Arnaldo, member of the Constitutional Court, Eugenio Ribón, dean of the Madrid Bar Association and Julián Sánchez Melgar, former State Attorney General, as well as the government team and directors and deans of other schools and faculties.
The new dean has begun her speech showing her appreciation. “I want to thank the Faculty Board that has given me extraordinary support to be dean. Thank you all for the trust you have generated in me. My gratitude to Pedro González-Trevijano, who was my rector, for his sense of loyalty and his ability to intelligently face life's challenges, his advice and his unconditional friendship. Also to our rector Javier Ramos, who, showing his audacity and generosity, encouraged me to assume the important tasks and responsibilities of this deanery” he explained in his speech.
"With the recent creation of the Faculty of Legal and Political Sciences, we begin a new journey at the Rey Juan Carlos University, which will require the effort of all of us who integrate it to make it a modern, efficient, plural faculty committed to our society" Maria Encino has pointed out.
María Enciso Alonso-Muñumer (Valladolid, 1967) studied Law at the Complutense University of Madrid, graduating in 1990. In 2001 she completed the doctoral program at the URJC and began to be an active part of the institution.
Currently, Enciso is a professor of Commercial Law at the URJC and has been the coordinator of the Academic Section of Legal Sciences. In addition, she has been the director of the Master's Degree for Access to the Legal Profession at the same university. Her entire academic career has been developed at the URJC and she has held various positions that have given her experience and knowledge of university management and teaching. As such, she has taught classes in various degrees, double degrees and master's degrees, becoming a recognized teacher.
Enciso began as a tenured professor of Commercial Law at the URJC in 2004, at the same time that she combined the academic branch with the legal profession. In 2009 she joined ONTIER, an important law firm, in which she holds the position of Academic Consultant. In 2017 she assumed the position of delegate of the Rector for the relations of society and companies of the URJC and in 2018 she was appointed professor.
Finally, the rector Javier Ramos has dedicated a few words of admiration to the new dean. “I can affirm that the professional competence of María Enciso is undoubtedly outstanding. I want to highlight three virtues of my friend María: generosity, intelligence and ambition. I believe that these three characteristics are the best baggage for her to face the challenge of launching a new faculty”.
With all this, the new Faculty faces several challenges such as adapting undergraduate and postgraduate studies to the new European regulations, meeting the demands of digital innovation and bringing the University closer to the realities and demands of society.
