The Universitat Jaume I has invested the jurist Jorge Cardona and the philologist Emilio Ridruejo as honorary doctors in a ceremony, in which the opening of the 2019-2020 academic year of the Doctorate School was also celebrated, as well as the investiture of 90 new doctors.

The rector of the UJI, Eva Alcón, has asked for R&D investment to be doubled to "bring us up to the level of the countries that surround us, but also not to become the scientific desert that Margarita Salas fought against". Alcón has acknowledged that investment in this area has grown to 14,000 million but this investment only represents 1.2% of Spanish GDP while in Europe it is 2.07%, a gap of millions of euros. The highest academic authority of the UJI has indicated that "the support of governments and the productive sector is necessary because only in this way will we be able to give a new impulse to research, the transfer of knowledge and innovation to Spanish universities". Finally, the rector congratulated and thanked doctors Cardona and Ridruejo for their teaching and for their vital example.

The director of the Doctorate School, Mercé Correa, has taken stock of the activity of this centre and has explained that during the academic year 2018-2019 there were 825 doctorate students enrolled, 28% of which corresponded to international students. She has highlighted the 21% increase over the previous year in new enrolment, with 225 doctoral students. In addition, Correa has indicated that last year 90 doctoral theses were defended, 63% of which received the mention of international doctor.
