The rector of the University Jaume I, Vicent Climent and the president of FACSA, Enrique Gimeno, have signed Friday 24 April 2015 the agreement for the creation in the Public University of Castellón of ‘the Chair FACSA of innovation in the integral cycle of the water', that will be directed by the professor Sergio Chiva of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Construction. To the act of signature also have assisted José Guillermo Berlanga, director of R&D of Facsa and Group Gimeno; Miguel Ángel Moliner, vice-chancellor of Economy and PAS; José Enrique Juliá, director of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Contrucción; and Javier Climent and Leonor Hernández, profesorado of the same department.

The Chair FACSA is born with the purpose to boost the training, the investigation, the diffusion of knowledge and the R&D in the gestión of the iclo integral of the Water. With an initial length of three years, will fix his location in the dependencies of the own University. The chair will have of a microsite own ([www.catedradelagua.uji.es](http://www.catedradelagua.uji.es/))  where will collect each one of the activities realised, as well as diary and actuality. With his creation, promotes the participation of the business and institutional fabric in formative activities and researchers that favour a greater socioeconomic development of his surroundings.

After the signature, Enrique Gimeno has commented that the creation of the Chair “allows to consolidate the path of collaboration with the UJI and at the same time, offer culture of the cycle of the water to sensitise to the society and endow it of the value that deserves”. By his part, Vicent Climent has indicated that the Chair “will serve to work in a field in which the UJI is very committed, as it is the one of the environment, by means of innovative actions that encourage to the citizenship and to the institutions in his preservation”.

**Support to the training, divulging, R&D and culture: the pillars of the chair**

One of parts more important will be the formative activities focused to students By this reason, will establish a Program of Seminars of Training like complementos educational, as well as a Program of Educational Cooperation, where the students will be able to realise practices in FACSA. Besides, they will award recognitions to the best projects and works of end of career as well as a Contest of ideas for micro projects of R&D of students, helping to his realisation with a line of finance.  The chair also will realise activities of training for technicians and professional with continuous training and courses of experts and university specialists.

Another of the pillars resides in the divulging and the transfer of the knowledge. For this, there will be a program of open conferences to students and technicians, as well as monographic technical days, bilateral meetings and courses of summer. Besides, they will organise workshops and will participate in technological and scientific associations of national and international field. Conscious of the importance to approach the knowledge of the integral cycle of the water to the society in general, will promote activities that allow to sensitise and educate in environmental matter, promoting the culture of the respect and the sustainable use of the water.

By his part, the promotion of the R&D result paramount, supporting lines of specific investigation and helping to the realisation of thesis doctorales. Simultaneously to the creation of the chair, FACSA and the UJI have signed to his time, the ‘Plan plurianual of R&D on Engineering of Residual Waters' and an ‘Agreement Mark of R&D' between both entities that will boost the scientific investigation and the development of own technologies.

Finally, the Chair will devote resources to promote activities socioculturales, conscious of the importance to look to the surroundings and to participate in the activities of the community that surrounds it.

**The consolidation of a historical collaboration**

The constitution of the chair of the water puts proper name to a narrow relation that FACSA has gone llevar with the Universitat Jaume I from does years. In fact, in the last five more than 80 students have realised formative practices and projects of end of career in the company, some of them incorporating to FACSA and beginning his professional career.

From 2009 it has developed a narrow relation in projects of R&D, with more than 20 agreements of collaboration. Between them they stand out from the development of new systems of control of the aireación in biological reactors of debuggers, with the development of systems of generation of electrical energy in networks of supply of drinkable water, until hydraulic studies in stations debuggers by means of computational modelling of fluids.

Of the same way, FACSA has kept a firm relation with technological institutes sharing know how and taking advantage of synergies, as with the IUPA (Institut Universitari of Plaguicides i Aigües) and especially with the Institute of Ceramic Technology (ITC),  with several lines of investigation under way related with the development of of ceramic membranes of low cost for the treatment of residual and drinkable waters.
