The Chair for Cooperation and Sustainable Development aims to be an instrument of transformation from the university environment, through the integrated promotion of research, training, information and documentation activities in the field of sustainable development aimed at promoting structural changes from the logic of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and, in particular, the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals directly linked to the People principle.

The Chair is co-funded by the Valencian Government through the Valencian Department of Participation, Transparency, Cooperation and Democratic Quality. It is one of the five existing Chairs for Cooperation and Sustainable Development in each of the five Valencian public universities.
