Fundación FAU fundazioa

Francisco Aristeguieta Urgoiti Fundazioa> Turn your passion into a present and future profession
Training in mechatronics and robotics Together towards sustainable manufacturing!

The main objective of the FRANCISCO ARISTEGUIETA URGOITI FUNDAZIOA Foundation is to transmit knowledge in industrial automation, mechatronics and robotics to people from 10 years of age.

The person responsible for starting the foundation is still alive through the legacy transmitted not only to his family, but also to teachers and professionals who continue to use his electronics and mechatronics teaching units; currently being updated by the LARRAIOZ ® team, led by Bittor LARRAIOZ ARISTEGUIETA [manager of the LARRAIOZ company since 1988; is going to be the president of the foundation], together with María Elena LARRAIOZ ARISTEGUIETA [his sister, partner of LARRAIOZ ® and next vice president of FAU FUNDAZIOA], and Xabier ITURRALDE USABIAGA [Technical Director of LARRAIOZ ®; who will be the treasurer of the foundation].

The new generations of the family will also participate, including Katixa LARRAIOZ and Uhaitz LARRAIOZ, who have been linked to the world of mechatronics and robotics all their lives from the Francisco Aristeguieta Technological Center. + Info about family and professional history.

Seated on the left is Ainhoa Maiztegui Lezamiz, Director of Technological Strategy & Corporate Social Responsibility of LARRAIOZ ® GROUP~TALDEA, who will perform the corresponding functions as secretary of FAU FUNDAZIOA and qualified teacher, who will carry out the training actions with the LARRAIOZ ® GROUP~TALDEA team.

In addition to the team of professionals from the LARRAIOZ ® GROUP~TALDEA group of companies, experts in automation, mechatronics and robotics have created educational workshops, with the aim of attracting people to an area in which there will predictably be quality work, both short and long term and where people with values will have the possibility of manufacturing in a more sustainable way.

FRANCISCO ARISTEGUIETA URGOITI was a person committed to the environment and his family knows that for him the meaning of why it is manufactured and its consequences on the environment were very important.

The general interest purposes of the FAU FUNDAZIOA foundation will be:

  • Create educational content related to automation, mechatronics and robotics for people ages 10 and up.
  • Form a consolidated group of teachers who can teach subjects related to automation, mechatronics and robotics.
  • Disseminate knowledge about related subjects.
  • Motivate people in the environment to expand their knowledge in the aforementioned areas.
  • Have an online space where people can connect with official training centers and companies that demand related profiles.
  • Reward people and entities, whether for profit or not, for promoting knowledge in automation, mechatronics and robotics.

MISSION

Our fundamental mission is Education in automotive, mechatronics and robotics, convinced that only through education do we promote the development of the people we target and generate new opportunities. In addition, we guarantee access to education by focusing our projects on other necessary areas, related to training in new technologies to integrate into the present and future world, from a perspective of greater sustainability.

VISION

We want to be an organization recognized for the impact of our actions in motivating people in the environment to expand their knowledge in the areas of automation, mechatronics and robotics; in the well-being and development of the communities with which we work, as well as for our integrity and professionalism in the way we act.

VALUES

  • Solidarity: We build a development approach based on Human Rights, aimed at their fulfillment and eradicating inequality in the communities with which we work.
  • Commitment: We act committed to fulfilling our mission and vision and with integrity, as a fundamental principle of our actions.
  • Excellence:  We ensure the achievement of our objectives and seek the greatest impact of our actions through quality, continuous improvement and optimization of our capabilities and resources.
  • Participation: We promote democratic and participatory principles as necessary means for social transformation and as an inherent goal of development.
  • Transparency: We base our work on honesty, mutual responsibility and maximum access to information, as pillars of social and economic accountability to our partners, collaborators, donors, beneficiaries and society in general.
  • Unity:  We believe in teamwork and collaboration with other organizations and institutions to enhance synergies and improve the performance of our work.
