OVERVIEW
The University Research Institute for Energy Engineering (IUIIE) of the Universitat Politècnica de València began its activity in 1999 with the creation of CIESC (Center for Energy Engineering and Complex Systems), promoted by Professors José Luis Muñoz-Cobo, Carlos Álvarez, and José Miguel Corberán. In 2004, this center evolved into the Institute of Energy Engineering, becoming an official institute of the University and incorporating Professors José Roger-Folch and Ángel Pérez-Navarro, the latter serving as Director of the Institute.
In 2015, the Institute was granted University Research Institute status, an official designation recognized under the Spanish Universities Act, a status it continues to hold today.
Over the years, the Institute has consolidated its capabilities and established itself as a leading reference in research, development, and innovation (R&D&I) within the broad field of energy.
As a university institution, our vision focuses on bridging the gap between knowledge creation and knowledge transfer in order to foster societal progress. This vision is built upon three fundamental pillars:
To promote the transfer of generated knowledge to the business sector and society, fostering collaborative projects that drive innovation, competitiveness, and sustainable development.
To foster the development of applied research through the implementation of publicly funded R&D&I projects, aimed at addressing real energy challenges and generating innovative solutions that contribute to technological advancement and sustainability. These projects are conceived as a means to strengthen collaboration with public institutions, companies, and other research centers, consolidating the scientific excellence and social impact of our activities.
To promote advanced student training through participation in the Master’s Degree in Energy Technology for Sustainable Development, offering education focused on academic excellence and the acquisition of high-level technical and scientific skills. This pillar seeks to prepare professionals capable of addressing current and future energy challenges by integrating knowledge in efficiency, sustainability, and energy transition, while fostering strong links with research projects and collaboration with the industrial sector.
