"The multi-year funding plan (PPF) that the Valencian public universities have signed with the Valencian regional government fixes a 30% of the funding tied to goals, which is just another ranking", stated the rector of the Universitat Jaume I, Vicent Climent. He added that the PPF is a tool that has to be vindicated and put back to value", since it includes all the benefits associated with the rankings as a strategic tool for improvement and accountability". Climent participated on Monday 4 November 2013 at the round table entitled "Valencian public universities: future challenges" organized by the Royal Economic Society of Friends of the Valencian Country.

Climent assured that "rankings are not just an evaluation system of the media, but of the whole society, and even of the public system that finances us", so they can be "a great transparency mechanism and an opportunity for universities to do a rigorous exercise of accountability". The highest authority of the public university in Castelló believes that universities have to make an effort to understand that the rankings can be a tool for improvement, that enable to identificate highlighted areas and those where there are gaps to be solved.

Las but not least, Rector Climent believes that the rankings "have to be considered a mechanism that enables us to know how near or far we are from our strategic objectives" and that "we must do a very thorough job to establish the clear indicators that we have to use in order to know very well what we want to measure and for what purposes". Climent believes that the vision of a unique ranking is wrong: we have to move forward with systems that take into account all the many and varied approaches that university activities can have (teaching, research, culture, globalization, areas of expertise, etc.).

Besides Vicent Climent, rector of the UJI, in the round table participated Esteban Morcillo, rector of the Universitat de València-Estudi General; Francisco Mora, rector of the Universitat Politècnica de València; Manuel Palomar, rector of the Universitat d'Alacant, and Jesús Tadeo Pastor, director of the Universitat Miguel Hernández, under the moderation of Francisco Oltra, director of the Royal Economic Society of Friends of the Valencian Country.
