* [![ jornada-horizon-europe Conferencia_Horizonte_Europa_22DLL36](/com/investigacio/arxiu/noticies/2022/10/jornada-horizon-europe/Conferencia_Horizonte_Europa_22DLL36.jpg)](#)

With a budget of €95.5 billion, Horizon Europe is the European Union's main funding programme for research and innovation. Its objectives include strengthening the EU's scientific and technological foundations and the European Research Area (ERA), boosting Europe's innovation capacity, competitiveness and employment, meeting citizens' priorities and upholding our values and socio-economic model.

Among other priorities, Horizon Europe promotes the implementation of projects to accelerate the ecological and digital transition; support for international cooperation with initiatives on biodiversity, climate protection, ocean research and global health; and repairing the damage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the modernisation of health systems and the development of vaccines.

Since its launch in 2021, the research staff of the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló has attracted funding to carry out eight research projects, four of them coordinated from Castelló, two doctoral networks and other research and innovation actions for an amount exceeding 4.5 million euros. Thus, in just 18 months, 33% of the expected economic return and 32.5% of the planned aid for the entire implementation period of Horizon Europe, which runs from 2021 to 2027, has been achieved.

During the year 2021, the success achieved by the research institutes of Social Development and Peace, New Imaging Technologies and Advanced Materials has stood out. Also by the Department of Basic and Clinical Psychology and Psychobiology. In 2022, the projects to be implemented in the departments of Philosophy and Sociology, Basic and Clinical Psychology and Psychobiology, the Institute of International Economics and the Predepartmental Unit of Medicine have been added.

The projects will address new challenges in areas such as hydrogen production, food, learning, scientific dissemination, extended reality, materials, pollution and its influence on health, social experiences and the promotion of adolescent health.

During the opening of the information day on this programme, organised by the European Projects Office of the Vice-Rector's Office for Research, with the support of EuroFUE, the rector Eva Alcón assured that "as a university with a clear research vocation since its foundation, the UJI has the capacity to contribute in a key way to the improvement and strengthening of the European research area". And this, she said, "is especially important to convert the knowledge generated on campus into high-impact innovation for society as a whole".

Likewise, the vice-rector for Research, Jesús Lancis, emphasised at the closing ceremony that "the support provided to research staff from the European and International Projects Office and from the Universitat Jaume I's Research Promotion Plan has been key to obtaining these results".

**UJI PROJECTS ON THE EUROPEAN HORIZON**

The public university of Castelló has so far obtained funding for eight research projects: **e-Diploma**, which will develop a new e-learning platform combining virtual reality, artificial intelligence, interactive technologies, conversational bots and gamification; **Dynamo**, where the synergy of the disciplines of physical acoustics, photonics and imaging is brought together to develop ultrafast imaging applications in optics; **ToNoWaste**, a research to overcome food waste with a multidisciplinary approach that includes not only economics or the business model, but also psychology or social innovation; and **Ohpera**, linked to the clean, robust, efficient and decentralised production of hydrogen in an electrolyser based on perovskite nanocrystals, all four coordinated by the UJI.

In addition, **Cortex2** will promote cooperative experiences in real time with extended reality; **Sharespace** will study social experiences in hybrid shared spaces; **Catalisi** will analyse the institutional transformations of higher education centres through the adoption of accelerator services; and **Flourish** will study the promotion of adolescent health.

The two doctoral networking actions, **Multismart** and **CONCiSE**, will respectively enable the establishment of a training network in advanced research on multicomponent soft materials and the study of computational imaging as a training network for smart biomedical services; the postdoctoral contract, **FlowBioCat**, will work on enzymatic biotransformations in digitally fabricated continuous flow bioreactors; the mobility and training action, **Psycomed**, will study psychiatric disorders and comorbidities caused by pollution in the Mediterranean area; and **Mednight GTS** will be a unique action dedicated to scientific dissemination, associated with the "European Researchers' Night" initiative, with the participation of seven universities, two foundations and a consultancy firm from the Valencian Community and the Region of Murcia.

In the previous research framework programme, Horizon 2020, the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló had obtained 31 research projects, two coordinations and 11.26 million euros in funding. Of these, 14 in the excellent science block, which sought to place Europe at the forefront of research; five in industrial leadership, with the aim of accelerating technological development; ten in social challenges to respond to social and economic needs and two in other programmes of the call.
