%X Through our work, we seek to analyse critically the transformation of educational subjectivities produced by discourses and practices within the framework of the current reform process that Spanish universities are undergoing. This transformation is linked to neoliberal government rationales, but we would like to describe it taking into account the local coordination modalities which characterize the context of Spanish universities. To do so, we focus on a technology which structures and feeds on discourses and key practices in the reform process: the six-year research period (sexennium). As a technology of subjectivity, it represents a system of thought involved in the development of moral codes which emphasize an ideal of responsible autonomy, through notions - colonized by the language of neomanagement - like excellence and entrepreneurship. However, it also establishes a practice which articulates techniques like assessment and accountability. These techniques encourage professors' voluntary and continuous involvement in increasing their research output as well as they channel the production of knowledge in agreement with competitiveness and productivity criteria. By jeans of these procedures, faculty acquire an ethos, a specific relationship with itself which we would like to subject to criticism, highlighting the naturalizing and depoliticizing effects of the process we analyse, but also asking questions about the possibility of producing other reflexive paths. En nuestro trabajo nos proponemos analizar cr赤ticamente la transformaci車n de las subjetividades docentes que producen los discursos y pr芍cticas del actual proceso de reforma de la universidad. Transformaci車n vinculada a las racionalidades de gobierno neoliberales pero que queremos describir atendiendo a las modalidades locales de articulaci車n que caracterizan el espacio universitario. Para ello, nos centramos en una tecnolog赤a que vertebra y se nutre de discursos y pr芍cticas claves en el proceso de reforma: el sexenio de investigaci車n. Como tecnolog赤a de la subjetividad, constituye un r谷gimen de pensamiento que participa en la elaboraci車n de c車digos morales que enfatizan un ideal de autonom赤a responsable, a trav谷s de nociones 〞colonizadas por el lenguaje del neomanagement〞 como excelencia o cultura emprendedora. Pero tambi谷n establece un r谷gimen de pr芍ctica que articula t谷cnicas como la evaluaci車n y la rendici車n de cuentas que no solo incentivan la implicaci車n voluntaria y continua del profesorado en el aumento de su producci車n investigadora sino que tambi谷n encauzan la producci車n de conoci
