The School of Engineering of the Universitat de València (ETSE-UV), located in the Burjassot-Paterna Campus, is the centre that combines all the titles and specialists in engineering of the Universitat de València. The ETSE-UV offers an extensive training in different branches of engineering along with an important educational and research activity.

The origin of ETSE-UV goes back to 1949, with the creation of the Technical Chemistry Chair of the Universitat de València, which initiated the teaching and research of chemical engineering. Over the following decades, new lines of engineering based on technological applications of physics were incorporated, such as electronics and computer science.

In the 1970s, different teachers with growing researching activity were consolidated and, in 1993, old specialities became full Engineering degrees, with a high job placement for graduates. Finally, in 2003, the School of Engineering was created, in order to bring together and coordinate all the studies and departments of the Universitat de València regarding engineering in a single reference centre.

The ICMol was founded in 2000 to develop a competitive and high-quality research in materials science using a molecular approach. In fact, ICMol is the sole research centre in Spain exclusively focused on the molecular aspects of Nanoscience, with a special emphasis on the study of functional molecules and materials exhibiting useful magnetic, electrical or optical properties.

In 2016, ICMol was recognized by the Spanish Ministry as Unit of Excellence María de Maeztu for a four-year period, from 2016 to 2019. In 2020, this accreditation has been renewed for another four-year period, from 2020 to 2023.

The Institute of Corpuscular Physics is a joint centre between the Spanish Research Council (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC) and the Universitat de València devoted to research in Nuclear, Particle and Astroparticle Physics and its applications to Medical Physics and to other fields of Science and Technology.

What can be considered as the recent period of the Institute of Corpuscular Physics started in July 1985 when the Universitat de València and the Spanish National Research Council signed a cooperation agreement by which a joint institute of shared ownership was created under the regulations provided by the framework cooperation agreement between both organizations that had been signed at the end of 1983. This joint centre kept its previous name in order to honour the tradition of Valencia in the field of Nuclear and Particle Physics that already had more than 30 years of history at that time.

In the new institute converged experimental and theoretical physicists and, in addition to the lecturers and professors of the Universitat de València, this institute was joined in the following years by Spanish and foreign researchers who worked in several institutions abroad.

In 2015, IFIC was awarded with the ‘Severo Ochoa’ accreditation as centre of excellence in recognition of its outstanding performance and scientific contributions at national and international level, its impact at industrial and social level, and the ability to attract scientific talent.

The Institute of Material Science (ICMUV), created by Decree of the Valencian Government 36/1995 on 7 March 1995 (DOGV num. 2469), had its origin on an initiative lead by a group of Research Units in the Faculties of Chemistry and Physics of the UV in order to face the need of establishing a synergic interactive link of their competences directed towards applied Chemistry and Physics aiming at offering their effort for the resolution of practical problems related to companies in our Community which belong to the field of Material Sciences.
