It is a project funded by the European Union within the Horizon Programme, and explores how Cuba’s centralised higher education policies are translated on the ground at the University of Holguin. In order to achieve this objective, I am currently contextualising higher education in the Cuban revolutionary process. This has led me to: i) map the existing literature regarding higher education policies; 2) describe how higher education has been set up since 1959; 3) describe the effects those policies and reforms have produced in the university context and society. In further stages, I will conduct fieldwork to analyse how university actors have been implementing the enacted reforms and the organisational changes rendered in the University of Holguin as part of the described reforms.</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-GB">My study shows, initially, that researchers have highlighted the role of access policies in changing the university context and society overall.
