Spain (Universitat de València)

The mission of the University of Valencia explains the reason for being of the institution, given the legal and statutory framework. The process of strategic reflection carried out to define the Strategic Plan of the University of Valencia 2008-2011 gave rise to the definition of the mission of the University.

We understand that this statement remains fully in force, although its achievement will require different objectives and lines of action that focus attention on new challenges and circumstances.

"The University of Valencia's mission is to train competent professionals in Europe and promote prestigious research with an international impact that contributes to the development of our society. Training and research promote the tasks that it also carries out in the field of dissemination of science and culture and in the reaffirmation of the democratic values of society in general, and of the Valencian society in particular."
