The event was also attended by the Vice-Rector for Employment and Lifelong Learning, Lola Salvador; the Director of the ETS School of Computer Engineering, Silvia Terrasa; the Deputy Director of Professional Environment Relations at ETSINF, César Ferri; the Director of the Chairs and Employment Office, Malak Kubessi; and the Classroom Director, José Hernández Orallo.

The “Artificial Intelligence and Mobility” Classroom, endowed with an initial budget of €15,000, will promote activities such as conferences, workshops, awards for final degree projects, and expert meetings. This collaboration reinforces the UPV’s commitment to academic excellence and the development of university-business synergies.
