The FACSA Chair in Innovation in the Integral Water Cycle of the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló has analysed the water challenges of the ceramic sector within the WATER-UJI project in a meeting that has counted with the participation of the firms Pamesa, Ferro, Realonda, Atomizadora, EuroAtomizado and Colorobbia, as well as the business associations ASCER, the Spanish Association of Ceramic Technicians and ASEBEC.

The Universitat Jaume I was represented by the University Institute of Pesticides and Water Resources, the University Institute of Ceramic Technology, the Chair for the Transformation of the Economic Model, the research groups in Thermal and Energy Systems Engineering, Waste Engineering, and Multiphase Fluids and the FACSA Chair in Innovation in the Integral Water Cycle. The meeting was also attended by the Deputy Vice-Rector for Transfer, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, David Cabedo.

During the course of the event, the innovation agent Laura Menéndez explained the project and the general lines of action, and the researcher Paloma Barreda analysed the use of water in the different production processes, showing the analysis of the characteristic water balances in the processes of fritting, enamelling, grinding and polishing, or atomising, among others. This type of analysis is linked to the development of the calculation of the water footprint that is being carried out by the researchers of the project.

The WATER-UJI project, led by the FACSA Chair in Innovation in the Integrated Water Cycle together with the University Institute of Pesticides and Water Resources, is funded by the Valencian Agency for Innovation, through the line of talent promotion. The project analyses, together with the most representative companies, the intensive use of water in the different productive sectors of the province of Castellón.

With this diagnosis, research groups at the Universitat Jaume I are encouraged to develop innovative technological solutions to try to reduce the net water balance, supporting solutions that reduce consumption, reuse water or replace it with other agents when possible. As a result of these needs, and of the solutions provided by the research groups, WATER-UJI supports the search for funding and projects that develop these solutions, which are aligned with European and national policies, favouring that they can be implemented in a practical way with demonstrators working in companies in the sector.

**About the Chair**

The FACSA Chair of the UJI was born in 2015 with the aim of promoting training, research, dissemination of knowledge and R&D in the management of the integral water cycle, as well as facilitating collaboration between the professional and teaching fields. From its origins to the present day, it has organised 11 conferences, 23 seminars and 16 courses at national level among other events, as well as adding up to nearly 300 hours of active training and promoting numerous research projects and scholarships in this field.
