The Universitat Jaume I-Empresa Foundation held on Friday 15 December the meeting of the Plenary of its Board of Trustees, which presented the Action Plan 2024 and some of the most important activities developed by the FUE-UJI in 2023, the year in which the entity has commemorated its 30th anniversary.

The rector and president of the Universitat Jaume I-Empresa Foundation, Eva Alcón, began the plenary meeting by referring to the three-decade trajectory of the FUE-UJI and its reason for being "an entity that in these 30 years has contributed as a strategic ally of the UJI, to strengthen the connection between the campus and its environment and to bring the training, research and innovation capabilities of the University closer to society. Through the FUE-UJI we can know and meet the training needs for professional retraining and, in addition, the Foundation helps us to strengthen the internationalisation strategy and to position the UJI and its research groups on the international scene. An alliance that has in the adhesions of companies and entities to its Board of Trustees one of its main signs of identity".

Carlos Cabrera, executive president of the FUE-UJI, expressed his satisfaction with the renewal of agreements and conventions with surrounding organisations, the implementation of new initiatives such as the cycle of meetings "Meeting Hour FUE-UJI" and highlighted the work carried out by the areas of activity of the Foundation through the management commissioned by the Universitat Jaume I. He also thanked the 35 patron entities and companies, the users of the FUE-UJI and the university community for their participation in the activities that have taken place to celebrate 30 years of history, "events that have served to show everyone's collaboration in the Foundation's project as a meeting place between the campus and the socio-economic fabric".

ACTION PLAN 2024 FUE-UJI
Gloria Serra, manager of the FUE-UJI, presented the lines of action planned for 2024, starting with the European and International Projects Office, the EuroFUE-UJI, which proposes, among other objectives, to strengthen the line of collaboration with the Universitat Jaume I through the commissioning of management for Erasmus + projects, Horizon Europe and the continuation of the international programme Study Abroad.

Regarding the area of technology transfer, the priorities are to promote the technological offer of the UJI to boost the transfer of knowledge generated by the Universitat Jaume I, especially in Human and Social Sciences.

In terms of training, some of the objectives for 2024 are to attract new national and international students, improve the quality of training programmes and continue to collaborate with the Universitat Jaume I in the management of micro-credentials.

Regarding the UJI extracurricular internship programmes and the scholarship programme for graduates, the Foundation aims to obtain 250 new annexes for internships for students of the University.

During 2024 the FUE-UJI will continue to contribute to the consolidation of the campus as a meeting place and conference organisation, providing support in the comprehensive management of events.
