The Beniarrés City Council (Alicante) hosted a conference on Smart Villages, organized by the Chair of Digital Gap and Territory of the Universitat Jaume I with the collaboration of the Department of Innovation, Industry, Commerce and Tourism, the Digital Gap Observatory and the El Xarpolar Commonwealth, which brings together 27 municipalities of L'Alcoià, El Comtat and Marina Alta. Under the title “Rural futures with digital tools”, the meeting was inaugurated by the president of the community and mayor of Beniarrés, Francisco Sellés.

Next, Vicent A. Querol, director of the Chair, and professor Joan Sanfélix presented the *Smart Villages* Guide. In this sense, they have explained that in recent years, the potential that digitalization offers in rural areas has been analysed for the preparation of the guide. Querol has indicated that the study has been carried out from the global dimension that includes development, infrastructure, quality of life, level of education, environment and global growth: “the premise is to transform rurality from an intelligent paradigm and critically take advantage of the technological resources of that transformation. Querol has also highlighted the need for the step to become intelligent towns to be taken from a critical and inclusive perspective.

Sanfélix recalled that the *Smart Villages* practical guide is a document designed from the transformation of rurality from an intelligent paradigm and from the use of technological resources from a collective point of view. In this way, the feasibility of developing smart towns was raised at the conference, applying innovative solutions to face the challenges of their social context and improve their resilience, taking advantage of their strengths and the opportunities that arise at the local level.

The UJI’s Digital Gap and Territory Chair aims to guide policies and actions so that no one in the rural environment is left behind in today’s great technological and attitudinal transformation. As a result of the collaboration between the UJI and the General Directorate for the Fight against the Digital Divide of the Ministry of Innovation, Universities, Science and the Digital Society, the Chair carries out research, training and dissemination actions to move towards a full inclusion: fairer, more accessible and more democratic in the various areas of the Valencian territory.
