The Valencian regional government  has agreed today to award the rectors of the Universitat Jaume I, Eva Alcón, and València-Estudi General, Mavi Mestre, the Distinction of the Generalitat Valenciana, which will be handed out together with the rest of the institutional awards on 9 October in an institutional ceremony on the occasion of the Valencian Community Day.  
  
The rector of the Universitat Jaume I, the first woman in charge of the institution in its 27 years of history, and the second to access the Rectorate of a Valencian public university, after València-Estudi General, has celebrated the concession of this distinction: "It is a merit of all the women and men of the Valencian university community who have fought for decades for real equality on our campuses". In her opinion, this award symbolizes the support of the Valencian regional government for policies and practices in favour of gender equality and recognition of the role of women in all areas of society, and especially in the university , where "there are still glass ceilings in many areas and where it is necessary to continue working to achieve absolute equality of all people". Therefore, on behalf of herself and the entire university community of the Universitat Jaume I, Eva Alcón thanked the president of the Valencian regional government, Ximo Puig, for this recognition and his constant support to all actions in favour of a more egalitarian and fair society.
