SOLAR ENERGY PRODUCTION AT THE GANDÍA CAMPUS

New installation of solar energy production in the Gandia campus of the Universitat Politècnica de València. A photovoltaic installation on the roof of Building G1A of the Polytechnic School of Gandía, consisting of 90 panels of 545 Wp of unitary power and an inverter of 50 kW nominal power, achieving a peak power of 49.1 kWp. The expected production of the new installation is about 74,200 kWh per year.

UPV INNOVATION

The UPV contributes to the innovation of companies and other entities in our society. With this purpose, the institution trains people with an innovative and entrepreneurial spirit in its teaching centers, generates knowledge and technology that it transfers to society and the socioeconomic environment from its research units.

LIVING LAB

UPV Living Lab - decarbonization scenarios, a prospective workshop that projected the participant to a hypothetical scenario of climate neutrality located in 2040, to reflect on an initial narrative based on four different models of decarbonization. Based on these scenarios, they imagined different university models.

States around the world are placing at the center of their policies the issue of the necessary and unpostponable energy transition to a new energy model based on efficiency and non-pollution. Universities must properly manage the energy they need and consume, encouraging autonomy and the consumption of "green energy".
This SDG is closely interrelated with most of the environmental SDGs, especially SDGs 11, 12 and 13. Likewise, guaranteeing access to energy contributes to the eradication of poverty (SDG 1) and inequality (SDG 10), and requires new, more democratic and participatory management models (SDG 16).

R+D+i Results Report


In the university context, as stated in SDG 1, ensuring equitable access to Higher Education for all is a powerful tool in the fight against poverty and inequality. We focus on university actions to promote access to Higher Education for particularly disadvantaged groups, such as people with disabilities, ethnic or cultural minorities, older adults, etc.
We exclude data on low-income people and gender inequality, as they are covered by SDGs 1 and 5, respectively.

REPORTS

II Equality Plan


Making our cities and communities inclusive, safe, sustainable and resilient spaces entails economic, cultural and environmental implications that have to do with public investment in basic services and infrastructure, but also with democracy, participation and citizen awareness.
Universities are like small cities made up of a community of people who live together and require political, social and economic administration for the provision of services and for their proper functioning.
In this case, emphasis has been placed on measuring the actions of universities to promote and preserve cultural and natural heritage, both on and off campus.
