What is the URV's impact on society?
Social impact and community engagement
The URV's initiatives have a direct impact on the community, improve collective well-being and promote inclusion. Through knowledge transfer, the university contributes to a fairer and more cohesive society by offering resources to those who need them.
Territorial collaboration
URV builds alliances with local institutions, facilitating the transfer of knowledge and developing projects that benefit communities. These collaborations enrich the participating regions, improve resource management and foster shared opportunities.
Cohesion, connection and networks between people
The university builds connections between people, which in turn promotes the dissemination of knowledge and opens up its activities to society. This fosters social cohesion and creates a dynamic community that addresses shared challenges with a collaborative mindset.
