Christmas 2022
VIII edition of VIEW
The VIII edition of VIEW, the main event of BEST Valencia, has just finished. After several talks and visits to different companies, the event culminated with the Team Design. It is a practical competition in which students were challenged to build a prototype capable of launching a projectile in two formats, first in a straight line, and then at an angle.
After 8 hours of hard work, teamwork and dedication, the groups were able to present and defend their final result in front of our select team of judges.
In short, it has been an event full of many new experiences, a lot of enthusiasm, talent and passion from the participants, as well as from the collaborating companies and the organisers themselves.
World aids day
Every year, on 1 December, the world commemorates World AIDS Day. People around the world unite to show support for people living with and affected by HIV and to remember those who lost their lives to AIDS.
The inequalities which perpetuate the AIDS pandemic are not inevitable; we can tackle them. This World AIDS Day, we urge each of us to address the inequalities which are holding back progress in ending AIDS.
The “Equalize” slogan is a call to action. It is a prompt for all of us to work for the proven practical actions needed to address inequalities and help end AIDS.
Data from UNAIDS on the global HIV response reveals that during the last two years of COVID-19 and other global crises, progress against the HIV pandemic has faltered, resources have shrunk, and millions of lives are at risk as a result.
We have only eight years left before the 2030 goal of ending AIDS as a global health threat. Economic, social, cultural and legal inequalities must be addressed as a matter of urgency. In a pandemic, inequalities exacerbate the dangers for everyone. Indeed, the end of AIDS can only be achieved if we tackle the inequalities which drive it. World leaders need to act with bold and accountable leadership. And all of us, everywhere, must do all we can to help tackle inequalities too.

UPV Blood Donor Day 2022
Yesterday, 20th December, an act of recognition was held at the Casa del Alumno, by the UPV Alumni Delegation, to the students who participated as volunteers in the promotion of the blood donation campaign.
We would like to thank all those who helped in this initiative.
On Wednesday, November 16, the UPV Blood Donor Day will be held, during that day the ground floor of the Student Recreation Centre will be enabled to make a massive donation. The schedule will be from 09:00 a.m. to 08:00 p.m.
The aim is to make the university community aware of the lack of blood in the blood bank and the importance of donating for times of need. Daily 650 units of blood are needed to provide service in Valencian hospitals.
All volunteers of this activity must perform a 2-hour training workshop, on Wednesday, November 9, in Room Grades 1, in the Student House, from 12:00 a.m. to 14:00 p.m. If you have already done the workshop in previous years it is not necessary to come, although it is recommended to update and to participate in the organization on the 16th.
The main task of the volunteers is to support the dissemination and information to donors, to promote the activity to increase the donation.
And remember that all volunteer activities, move to a summation of hours of participation in the volunteer platform to then be able to recognize credits of free configuration.
It is necessary to register through the following platform.
