The Universitat Jaume I started the information sessions on the projects that have obtained funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Programme on 14 July. During the inauguration, the Rector of the UJI reminded that "research is a fundamental pillar for social and economic transformation and deserves more attention". Eva Alcón claimed the need to "have a solid and stable budget, which favours the incorporation of human resources and has a flexible management system that does not drown research staff in bureaucracy".

For the first academic authority, the research activity "is key for the UJI to be among the best universities in the world in the main university rankings". Besides, she states that "eighteen UJI researchers are in the classification prepared by the Group for the Dissemination of the H Index, which measures the quality and international impact of research". Thus, the results and the increase in funds obtained "must encourage us to continue improving" and, in addition to increasing the number of actions financed, "we must seek collaboration with other actors, such as SMEs and large companies, other administrations or technological institutes".
