The professor Jordi Garcés Ferrer has been invested doctor honoris causa by the Universitat Jaume I for the contributions that he has made in the field of the social sciences from an interdisciplinary perspective, as well as for his connection with the UJI. The event was chaired by the rector, Vicent Climent; the mayor of Castelló, Amparo Marco, and the president of the Valencian regional government, Ximo Puig. The event has been also attended by the rector of the Universitat de València, Esteban Morcillo; the rector of the Miguel Hernández University, Jesús Tadeo, and the rector of the University of Burgos, Manuel Pérez.

The new doctor honoris causa has affirmed that "our society requires a change of focus in the analysis of  phenomena, individuals and institutions in which they are immersed, a new type of social knowledge that integrates different disciplines, through interdisciplinarity; a new strategy to understand social phenomena, which will allow a different way of designing and developing research and reorienting public policies and teaching at the university". To achieve this, Garcés has launched a proposal:  ocial sciences must recover their social function by agreeing with technical sciences to reflect interdefinability, to compose new complex socio-technical systems, thus reformulating the practical conception of social sciences.
