On June 26, 2016 we will be asked to vote again. A new opportunity to decide in a general election<\/strong> who will represent us during the next four years. In just two of weeks we will be able to choose the parties and people<\/strong> who will have the responsibility, both in the government and the opposition, to decide what course the country is to take in economic, social, equality, territorial and labor terms. But we also get the chance to choose the Representatives and Senators who will decide the policies on research and science<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That’s why we asked the professors and researchers at the UPV<\/strong>, preferably at Campus Gandia<\/strong>, to help us out. We’ve asked the four major political parties<\/strong> to give us more information about the science and research measures proposed in their electoral programs.<\/p>\n

Below, we share the views of representatives from the Popular Party<\/strong>, PSOE<\/strong>, #ALaValenciana<\/strong> and the Citizen<\/strong>s party. The order of publication we have followed correspond to the results of the December 20, 2015 elections<\/strong>,<\/a> from the highest to the lowest percentage of votes.<\/p>\n

For the Popular Party, the university plays a key role in the future labor market. Many students today, in the future will work in jobs that haven’t been invented yet. Given this reality, the central role of the university should not be limited to the transmission of knowledge, but providing students with the necessary skills to successfully tackle the continuous learning that they will face during their working life.<\/p>\n

To do this, we consider that, notwithstanding equity, excellence should be promoted in the lecture halls, developing the creative\/investigative character of the student and transversal competences such as flexibility and resilience, that allow for greater adaptability to the future demands of the labor market, with special focus on emerging niches and the application of ICT.” More information<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Because we know that science is the key to the economic future and well being and knowledge of our society, science is a priority for the Socialists. R&D&I is a pillar of our program:<\/p>\n
