The Universitat Jaume I has inaugurated a new research building that strengthens its capacity for scientific research, knowledge transfer and innovation. This new facility will host the work of two prominent research institutes — the Institute of Advanced Materials (INAM) and the Institute of New Imaging Technologies (INIT) — which focus on advanced materials, imaging technologies and their real-world applications. During the inauguration, UJI rector Eva Alcón emphasized the building’s role in fostering high-level scientific collaboration and connecting research with societal and economic development. The event brought together academic, political and industry representatives, highlighting the university’s commitment to cutting-edge research and its relevance beyond the campus.

The building offers over 5,000 square meters of advanced lab and research space, co-financed by the university and the Valencian government. The INAM currently brings together 12 research groups working on areas such as energy storage, antimicrobial coatings and drug delivery systems, while INIT focuses on imaging, AI, geolocation, and medical applications. Both institutes operate Scientific and Business Innovation Units (UCIEs) that promote the transfer of research outcomes to society and industry. Designed by architects Alejandro Rubert and Carlos Guillamón and built by Becsa, the facility meets the highest environmental standards, earning the top sustainability certification (five green leaves) from the Spanish Green Building Council — the first university building in the region to do so.
