The Rector of the Universitat Jaume I, Eva Alcón, and the President of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, have inaugurated the first Research Centre in Robotics and Underwater Technologies (Cirtesu) in the Valencian Community located on the Castelló university campus, the second in Spain and one of the few in Europe with its characteristics. The work has been co-financed by the Generalitat Valenciana, with ERDF funds, and the UJI.

The event was also attended by the Minister for Innovation, Universities, Science and Digital Society, Carolina Pascual; the President of the Board of Trustees, Sebastián Pla; the President of the Provincial Council, José Martí; the Vice-Rector for Research and Transfer, Jesús Lancis; and the Director of the Robotic Systems and Interaction Laboratory, Pedro J. Sanz, the Director of the Design Engineering research group, Rosario Vidal; the Coordinator of the Multiphase Fluids research group, Sergio Chiva; and the Director of the Torre de la Sal Aquaculture Institute of the CSIC, Ariadna Sitjà Bobadilla, among other academic and social authorities, as well as representatives from the business world.

During the opening ceremony, Eva Alcón stated that with this centre "the UJI is taking a decisive step towards becoming a Europe-wide scientific centre for underwater robotics and an international benchmark for engineering, computing and artificial intelligence in areas such as rescue, aquaculture, biodiversity conservation, underwater archaeology, waste water management and the design of solutions for industry 4.0".

The modular and adaptable design of the prototypes makes them useful in multiple applications.
