The research staff at the Universitat Jaume I have strengthened the international projection of their research by exceeding the limit of 10 million euros in fundraising under the European Union's Horizon 2020 Programme. Thus, in the calls awarded to date, the UJI has increased by 38% the grant obtained in the previous Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), confirming the momentum provided by the new European and International Projects Office.

In the last three months, the Universitat Jaume I has benefited from a total of 2.8 million euros in the Horizon 2020 Programme calls. With this endowment, eight new research projects will be deployed that will address the study of advanced materials for the improvement of X-ray equipment used in clinical diagnosis, the manufacture of photovoltaic solar panels on flexible substrates and the reduction of the environmental impact of some industrial processes. The problem of emerging pests in agricultural crops will be the focus of another of the projects.

In the field of health, the research will focus on different interventions aimed at improving the welfare of workers in public administration entities and the business sector, as well as virtual reality environments for application in clinical psychology and health. Progress will also be made in the design of an ethical governance system to face today's major social challenges through ethically acceptable, socially desirable and sustainable research and innovation, and some aspects of the European digital agenda will be addressed.

The consolidation during the academic year 2018-2019 of the European and International Projects Office of the UJI, coordinated by Cristina Villarroya, in the support and assistance to research staff during the preparation and negotiation of proposals, the signing of contracts and monitoring of projects have been key to obtaining these results. Consolidation has been made possible, in part, by the design of a strategy that contemplates coordinated action with the Universitat Jaume I-Business Foundation, through EuroFUE, with comprehensive support for research staff throughout the life cycle of the projects.

For the period 2014-2020, the European Union concentrates most of its research and innovation activities in the eighth framework programme, known as Horizon 2020 (H2020). This programme focuses on three pillars with which it contributes to tackling the main social challenges in Europe (health, food and agriculture including marine sciences, energy, transport, climate and raw materials, inclusive societies and security), to promoting industrial leadership and to reinforcing the excellence of its scientific base.

Participation in the Framework Programme is based on competing with the best and most often with consortium activities (research groups, companies and research staff), with the exception of the most emblematic grants from the European Research Council (ERC), which subsidise European researchers at the highest level.
