The Universitat Jaume I (UJI) participates in four new European projects under the Horizon 2020 and Life+ programmes and the programmes from the Department of Migration and Social Affairs, in addition to the more than twenty projects of the European Union in which researchers are currently working. Through these four projects, the UJI will participate in research that address a wide variety of fields, such as the move towards more responsible markets; the development of sustainable urban furniture; studies that seek to reduce occupational risks in working environments where silica is used, or research for the identification and evaluation of new psychoactive substances.

The last project approved in the competitive call Horizon 2020 from the Framework Programme is entitled “SMART: Sustainable market actors for responsible trade” in which the research group “Sustainability of Organizations and Management of Social Responsibility” (SOGRES) participates. The principal researcher of this study at the UJI is M. Jesús Muñoz Torres, from the Department of Finance and Accounting. The four-year project started in March 2016 and will focus on products originating, in whole or in part, from developing countries that are marketed by EU companies and sold to consumers and producers within the European Union.

With regard to the European programme on sustainable development Life+, the UJI has joined two new projects in the last call, one of them as coordinator of the international consortium. This is the SILIFE project: “Production of quartz powders with reduced crystalline silica toxicity” led by Eliseo Monfort, from the University Institute of Ceramics Technology (ITC). The aim of the project, which was launched in late 2015 and will end in August 2019, is to improve health in the workplace stopping the diseases caused by exposure to respirable crystalline silica (SCR) (quartz and cristobalite in particular), which are raw materials widely used in different industries and sectors.

Within the Life+ programme, researchers at the Engineering Design Group, led by Rosario Vidal Nadal from the Department of Mechanical and Construction Engineering, participate in the FUTURE project: “Sustainable urban furniture: tool design to perform environmental assessments in the green procurement framework”. The project, which will take place between October 2015 and March 2018, deals with the development of sustainable urban furniture and design tools that favour conducting environmental assessments under green shopping.

Moreover, researchers at the UJI are also participating in a European project belonging to the last call for the General Directorate of Migration and Social Affairs. This is the programme “Identification and assessment of new psychoactive substances: a European network” in which Félix Hernández, the secretary from the Institute of Pesticides and Water, participates as principal researcher. The project was launched in February 2016 and it will work until January 2018 on the identification and evaluation of new psychoactive substances through the European network established for this purpose. This action joins the European Marie Curie project in which the IUPA is participating since 2012.

Now, there are fifteen projects in force under the Framework Programme, and seven projects linked to other European calls in which UJI research groups are participating.  Among these research groups, we can find the IUPA; the ITC; the SOGRES group; the Design Engineering group; the Photovoltaic and Optoelectronic Devices group; the Supramolecular Organic Chemistry group; the Industrial and Experimental Economics group; the Geoespatial Technologies group (GEOTEC); the Laboratory of Psychology and Technology through the Psychopathology, Evaluation and Treatment of Emotional Disorders research group; the  Human Rights and Fundamental Rights research group; Architecture and High-Performance Computing group; the Centre for Law and International Relations Studies (CEDRI), and the Creation of Innovative Companies group.
