Weaknesses

  • Lower weight of PTGAS within the personnel structure than the SPUV average (RH-D1).
  • Aged teaching and research staff, with temporary staffing rates much higher than those for PTGAS. Insufficient tendency for replacement (RH-D2).
  • PTGAS with temporary staffing rates higher than the SPUV and SUPE averages (RH-D3).
  • Aged UV infrastructures (INF-D1).
  • Deficit in preventive maintenance due to insufficient funding from the Generalitat (GVA) (INF-D2).
  • Difficulty for structural interventions due to bureaucracy and a lack of agile responses in municipal licenses and LCSP (public sector contract law) contracting systems (INFI-D3).
  • Lack of control for cash management. Dependence on the interests and possibilities of the Generalitat regarding when the corresponding amounts are paid according to GVA Budgets (RP-D1).
  • Growth in personnel costs linked to the size of the UV’s activity which is not compensated by funding linked to the number of students due to the lack of a PPF for the SPUV (RP-D2).
  • Less total expenditure available due to the reduction in funding during the period 2009-2019, which limits the possibility of meeting investment needs (RP-D3).
  • General employability rate lower than SUE, SUV and SPUV averages due to the generalist nature and the impact of the economic fabric of the Valencian Community (RD-D1).
  • In research projects of the EU Framework Programme, the ratio of projects per 100 UV lecturers is below the SPUV average (RI-D1).
  • Sharp drop in research and development income, both overall and per 100 lecturers. This drop also occurs in the averages for the comparison groups, though at the UV it is sharper (RIT-D1).
  • The number of patents and spin-offs is lower than what should correspond to the UV for its weight in the SPUV (RIT-D2).
