UNIVERSITY-ENTERPRISE FOUNDATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VALENCIA
The University-Enterprise Foundation of the University of Valencia (ADEIT) is an organization, with its own legal personality, promoted by the Consell Social of the University of Valencia in 1989, whose objective is, on the one hand, that companies take advantage of the capacities of the University, and on the other hand, to serve as a channel to transmit to the University the needs of companies and the productive sectors. With this aim, ADEIT promotes the development of joint activities in all those fields that favor the exchange of know-how and, as a consequence, the enhancement of economic progress.
Valencia is unique for infinite reasons, let us tell you just a few!
FOR ITS 300 DAYS OF SUNSHINE: Valencia offers 300 days of sun per year with an average temperature of almost 18ºC. The perfect climate to discover the city, while walking under blue skies and stopping now and again at a sunny terrace. A plan so simple that you’ll love!
FOR ITS MEDITERRANEAN CUISINE: Although paella is an international dish, you probably haven’t tried one as good as the ones here. So, don’t leave without having a real Valencian paella and discovering all that our cuisine has to offer: all types of rice dishes, traditional fish and seafood stews, excellent wines, horchata (with pastry fartons to dip, of course) and spectacular citrus fruits.
FOR ITS BEACHES: What more can you ask of a city with more than 300 days of sun? Beaches, of course, and with blue flags to make them even better! In Valencia there’s 7 kilometres of beach to choose from, whether you prefer the fun of urban beaches, with all types of services and a great atmosphere or the tranquillity of natural beaches at the l'Albufera Park.
FOR ITS GREEN SPACES: València is full of surprises, like the river that has been transformed into a lush 9-kilometre-long park through the city for all types of leisure activities and sports. The old river bed of the River Turia is a meeting point for Valencian people and tourists which can be enjoyed from morning to evening. Another of our most iconic and interesting natural spaces is l'Albufera Park, just 10 km away from the centre. There are spectacular sunsets there, which can be enjoyed even more with a boat trip.
FOR ITS 2000 YEARS OF HISTORY: Founded in 138B.C. by the Romans, València is an overlap of Roman, Visigothic, Muslim and Medieval cultures. Indications of this are iconic monuments such as the Silk Exchange (declared a Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO), the Almoina, The Serrranos and Quart towers and the Cathedral. Beyond the architectural, the Tribunal de las Aguas (founded in the year 1000 and recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage, is a vestige of the past which can be witnessed every Thursday at 12 pm under the Apostles Gate at the Cathedral of València.
FOR BEING AN AVANT-GARDE SYMBOL: València is a constantly evolving city. A city that showcases its historic past while being adventurous with large 21st century constructions. If you are interested in architecture, then the City of Arts and Sciences by Santiago Calatrava, the Convention Centre by Norman Foster and the Veles e Vents building by David Chipperfield are musts. Other modern spaces worth visiting are the MUVIM museum, the Exhibition Centre (Feria Valencia), the Palau de la Música and the IVAM museum.
