The 22nd edition of the UPV Social Council Awards has recognised the best students and teachers of the UPV, highlighting the importance of collaboration between universities and companies, and innovation and research projects.

The event was held in the Paraninfo of the UPV and attended by the rector, José E. Capilla; the president of the Social Council of the UPV, Monica Bragado; the subdelegate of the Government, Raquel Ibáñez and the Valencia City Council spokesperson, Juan Carlos Caballero.

During her speech, the president of the Social Council of the Universitat Politècnica de València, Mónica Bragado, explained that these awards are an optimistic look towards the future: "Today we celebrate the festival of talent, in which entrepreneurial and prepared students, innovative lecturers, as well as companies, as well as UPV allied companies committed to science and research, participate. Undoubtedly, the perfect combination for a society that demands leadership in sectors such as science, technology and medicine, among others".

Bragado also praised the effort and commitment of students and teachers and described the UPV as a beacon of knowledge and progress: "The university has become an engine of talent that moves different generations. A space for training and the future that brings together people with the same concerns: to advance, create and improve".

In this sense, the president thanked the students and lecturers for having making the university a prestigious, benchmark and stimulating centre, placing it as one of the top universities with the most significant employment opportunities in the country and among the 500 best universities in the world for 12 consecutive years.

University - company collaboration

This edition highlights the importance of recognising and rewarding young talent; for this reason, 13 of these 38 awards are in the category of Best UPV Student, which rewards academic career and talent, as well as personal attitude.

Finally, the president explained that, with these awards, "it is the 22nd year in which the Social Council has sought to recognise the importance of collaboration between universities and companies, innovation projects and recognition of the excellence of students and teachers".
