About us
The University of Valencia is generally recognized as one of the most outstanding Spanish universities in both national and international rankings, such as Shanghai and CHE university rankings. The University of Valencia produces 63% of the indexed references of all Valencian universities and ranks third among Spanish universities in indexed scientific production. More than 300 PhD theses are presented every year in the framework of 113 Master’s and 74 PhD Programmes, 24 of which have obtained the special Exellence Award given by the Spanish Education Ministry. Lastly, its increasing research budget (over € 52 million) is an indicator of the scientific and technological capabilities of the University of Valencia.
The University of Valencia takes part in VLC/Campus, an action that has been distinguished as a Campus of International Excellence, a stamp of quality awarded by the Spanish Ministry for Science and Innovation. The objective of VLC/Campus is to become a hub of knowledge of international excellence, through specialization of scientific-technological production in health, communication and sustainability.
The University of Valencia, the coordinator of this project, contributes with the experience and work of the UNIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE ON ROBOTICS AND INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES (IRTIC) by means of ARTEC group and ADAPTA Lab http://www.adaptalab.org.
