Twelve researchers have received in this second call the prizes in an act that has taken place in the Convalescence, headquarters of the Rectorate, which has been attended by the rector, José Orihuela;
the president of the Social Council, José Antonio Campillo;
the director of the Séneca Foundation, Antonio González;
the vice-rector of Transfer, Entrepreneurship and Employment, Francisca Tomás;
and the director of the Transfer Office, Antonio Montes.
Francisca Tomás has stressed "the great pride" for the University to have researchers working to "return to society the investment that society makes with us."
Both she and Rector Orihuela have highlighted the fact that the transfer of knowledge is not limited only to technical or scientific areas, but that all areas generate knowledge that must be transmitted.
The rector has highlighted the role that the transfer has as an economic stimulator and generator of jobs;
"It is the knowledge economy", he pointed out.
In a similar line, both José Antonio Campillo and Antonio González have expressed themselves.
Both have stressed the importance for society that this knowledge that is born of researchers reaches its destination.
"The cycle of knowledge does not end until it is transferred," Gonzalez remarked.
