In a promising initiative that aligns perfectly with the commencement of the 2023/2024 academic year, the Government group of San Vicente del Raspeig has embarked on a renewed period of collaborative work meetings with the prestigious University of Alicante.

This forward-looking endeavour is driven by the vision of fostering not just an administrative relationship but also cultivating more direct and fluid communication. The goal is to create a solid foundation for a new era of collaboration that promises to benefit both the city and the academic institution.

At the heart of this endeavour are the key figures driving the cooperation. Antonio Díaz, the Councilor for University Relations, has been instrumental in outlining the shared objectives of this initiative. He emphasised, "We are embarking on a period where, as the municipal government, we will actively work towards strengthening our ties. Our aim is not only to have an administrative relationship but also to establish a more direct and seamless form of communication. This approach will lay the groundwork for a new era of collaboration that holds great promise."

The first official meeting of this legislative term took place at City Hall, where councillors Antonio Díaz and Lourdes Galiana, responsible for Municipal Contracting and Heritage, respectively, joined forces with representatives from the University of Alicante. On the university side, the meeting was graced by the presence of Salvador Ivorra, Vice-Rector for Infrastructure, and Andrea Rodero, Director of Contracting. The warm reception of these university officials by Mayor Pachi Pascual exemplified the city's commitment to this cooperative endeavour.

During the meeting, Mayor Pachi Pascual, representing the city, expressed optimism about the ongoing collaboration. He said, "We have made significant strides in addressing some of our outstanding matters, and we anticipate these issues seeing the light of day in the coming months." Díaz also pointed out that "one of the initial actions of this legislative term was the approval of modifications to the University Plan. These modifications are designed to accommodate the facilities required for the new Medicine degree within the premises of the old San Francisco campus College. This will serve as a guiding principle for all ongoing matters, underscoring our commitment to prioritise them."

In the broader context, Antonio Díaz emphasised that "the City Council shares the responsibility of supporting initiatives aimed at modernising and enhancing one of our nation's premier universities. The University of Alicante must continue to be a cornerstone of sustained growth and advancement."

This renewed collaboration between the San Vicente del Raspeig Government and the University of Alicante represents a promising step towards a future of mutual growth and development. As these two entities work closely together, they are not only strengthening administrative ties but also building a framework for innovation, education, and progress that will benefit the community at large. The future holds exciting possibilities as they embark on this journey of shared endeavours and achievements.
