The Joint Monitoring Committee of the Chair in Digital Divide and Territory of the Universitat Jaume I met yesterday, Wednesday 15 December, with the participation of María Muñoz, general director for the Fight against the Digital Divide; David Cabedo, vice-rector for Transfer, Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the UJI; Vicent Querol, director of the Chair and David Beltrán, of the Patronage and Sponsorship Programme of the UJI, as well as Francisca Inés Hernández, head of the Digital Society Observatory, and Ana María Guerrero, technician. The meeting, among other issues, reported on the activity and results of the Chair’s work during the year 2021.

At the meeting, the attendees reviewed in detail the activities of the Chair during the year 2021, linked basically to two lines of work: on the one hand, the observation of the contexts, groups and spaces of greater vulnerability to the digital divide in the rural areas of the Valencian Community in the time of COVID-19, and on the other hand, the study of models such as smart villages, their transformation and their impact on the digital divide in rural areas.

In the field of research, in addition to analyzing the smart village model, the Chair has supported the design of the 2001 survey of the Digital Divide Observatory of the Valencian Community, and has developed research for the identification of groups and contexts of vulnerability in terms of the digital divide. On the other hand, in terms of dissemination activities, several webinars have been organized, such as the presentation of the Chair’s 2020 report, or another dedicated to good practices in smart villages.

The aim of the Chair in Digital Divide and Territory is to guide policies and actions so that no one in rural areas is left behind in the great technological and attitudinal transformation that we are experiencing. As a result of the collaboration between the UJI and the General Directorate of the Fight against the Digital Divide of the Department of Innovation, Universities, Science and Digital Society, the Chair develops research, training and dissemination actions to advance towards full inclusion (fairer, accessible and democratic inclusion) in the Valencian territory.
