Has inspired València Climate Mission 2030
The Governing Council approved his appointment on 2 February this year. The nomination highlighted that his work has challenged orthodox thinking on the role of the state and the private sector in driving innovation and on how economic value is created, measured and shared. Her postulates have guided public policy design through missions as a tool to solve the significant challenges facing humanity.
Her approach has conceptually inspired public innovation programmes worldwide, such as València Climate Mission 2030, in which Universitat Politècnica de València participates in a relevant way.
The 30 best PhD Theses will be awarded during the closing ceremony, and their authors will be conferred, PhD Doctors. Juan Enrique Vázquez Lozano will speak on behalf of the award winners.
