laboratories and other research support services, in addition to the research and innovation structures,
which in turn provide companies with numerous services.
Each university in the Valencia Region also has a University Knowledge Transfer Offices (OTRI),
which handles university-enterprise relations. The OTRIs disseminate and manage the technological
capabilities of the universities, negotiating and managing R&D projects. They also provide information
and advice for researchers and companies on intellectual property rights and funding
sources.
In order to establish a common position of all the Valencian universities as stakeholders in the Science-Technology-Enterprise
system in the Valencia Region, in 2001, RUVID became a Network of
Valencian Universities for the promotion of R & D & I (Research, Development and Innovation),
through a collaboration agreement signed by the Region’s five public universities. In September
2003, RUVID was established as a non-profit association and is currently made up of the seven
Valencian universities.
