The Universitat Jaume I has started today at the Hotel Termas Marinas El Palasiet in Benicàssim the course "La calidad del aire en España" [Air quality in Spain], with which the Summer University UJI 2022 begins. The inauguration has been in charge of the rector of the UJI, Eva Alcón, and the general director of Air Quality and Environmental Assessment of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge, Ismael Aznar, who have been accompanied by Joan Piquer, general director of Quality and Environmental Education of the Generalitat Valenciana; Paula Tuzón, regional secretary for Climate Emergency and Ecological Transition of the Generalitat Valenciana; the mayoress of Benicàssim, Susana Marqués, and Xavier Querol, director of the course and researcher at the CSIC.

During her speech, the rector of the UJI stressed "the importance of tackling the reduction of atmospheric pollution from a multidisciplinary perspective, a pollution that has a direct impact on our health". Studies by the European Environment Agency show that the deterioration of air quality is usually associated with 370,000 deaths a year in the EU. In this sense, she assured that "this is one of the greatest climate challenges, which requires the involvement of universities, research centres, administrations, the private sector and environmental organisations". Eva Alcón also assured that "with this course, we want to recover the initiative of seminars on air quality promoted by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge and the autonomous communities and turn the UJI into the main venue for these global debates and promote decision-making based on scientific evidence".
