Specialists from chairs and study centres on depopulation meet at the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló in the first national meeting organised by the AVANT Chair Valencian Anti-depopulation Agenda of the UJI together with the Generalitat Valenciana. The opening ceremony was attended by the president of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig; the rector of the UJI, Eva Alcón; the regional secretary for Territorial Cohesion and Policies against Depopulation, Elena Cebrián; and the vice-rector for Culture, Languages and Society, Carmen Lázaro.

During her speech, the rector of the UJI, Eva Alcón, stressed the importance of this first national meeting of chairs and study centres on depopulation as a forum for reflection and debate on one of the great social challenges of the 21st century and underlined the "university commitment" to bring students closer to this reality and to seek new opportunities in rural areas.

The aim of this meeting, organised by the directors of the AVANT Chair of the UJI, Vicente Budí and Luisa Alamá, is to highlight the work that is being carried out from the universities in the study and analysis of depopulation and to know how, from different areas of knowledge and universities, this complex problem is approached, its multiple nuances and the political and technical proposals. In addition, there was a session to learn about the 20/30 Strategic Plan to Combat Depopulation in the Valencian Community (PLESVANT), in which the main actions planned and the first results were presented.

The meeting continues on Wednesday 1 June with the *2nd Workshop: From depopulation to left-behind places: new challenges, new policies* with the guest lecture by Rachel Franklin from the University of Newcastle, focusing on the multiple problems faced by depopulated areas and their consequences. The second day of the workshop will also be devoted to the presentation of academic papers by researchers from a group of European universities focusing on depopulation.
