The Rector of the Universitat Jaume I, Eva Alcón, has taken stock of the academic year 2020-2021, which she has described as "atypical and complicated as a result of the pandemic" and has stressed that the forecast for the next course is to return with the maximum possible normality and 100% attendance. "We are ready to begin the new academic year with enthusiasm," added the Rector.

Alcón also thanked the university community for their efforts "because in this crisis we have made the best of ourselves, we have shown that we are a public service that has not stopped, and we have done so without forgetting that the University is the lever of social and economic change in the province of Castellón".

In the field of teaching, the Rector recalled that the UJI will launch two new undergraduate degrees next year, Physical Activity and Sport Sciences and Robotic Intelligence, and three new master's degrees in strategic areas such as ceramics, health and logistics, which will mean "a differentiated offering that responds to the demand of society".

In terms of research, Alcón highlighted the Research Plan and the UJI's commitment to transfer, as well as the achievement of the Seal of Excellence for Human Resources in Research and the aid for attracting international talent, the training of young doctors and the requalification of teaching staff through mobility.

The consolidation of the campus was another of the aspects highlighted by the Rector, who listed some of the planned actions, such as creating a new transfer building, ending the works on the new Faculty of Health Sciences, turning the Agora into a space for students, creating a new 10,000 m2 green area and continuing the actions to improve energy efficiency.

Finally, the Rector referred to the different transversal plans promoted by the UJI, with which "we have made progress over time and have been proactive". In this sense, she mentioned the UJI Digital Plan, the action plan for sustainability and against climate change, and the Healthy Campus programme, among others.
