The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.
The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research and Scientific Policies. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Reference of the Group:
Description of research activity: The Research Group on Scientific Culture (RGSC) was founded in 2002, when Journalism studies were introduced in the UV. Since the beginning, I take part in postgraduate and PhD programmes of various Spanish universities, in research areas revolving around scientific culture. In 2007, our university made an agreement with the RGSC, CIEMAT¿s unit for scientific culture in Madrid, to enable research in Science and Technology Studies. This framework project includes researchers from the Universities of Oviedo, Balearic Islands, Valladolid, Salamanca and CSIC¿s Institute of Philosophy. The main goal of the Research Group on Culture is the research on scientific culture, on acting as an interface mechanism between actors and on environments for the creation of scientific knowledge and the unproductive appropriation of knowledge (social demand or regulating agents, to name a few). It participates in elaborating technical forms for foundations such as FECYT through Surveys for Social Perception of Science and Technology and it¿s present in numerous international congresses such as the PSCT, held every two years. The group¿s project is currently financed by the National Plan and it¿s...The Research Group on Scientific Culture (RGSC) was founded in 2002, when Journalism studies were introduced in the UV.

Scientific-technical goals: - Investigate the coverage of science and technology through social media (conventional and digital), social networks, private telephone platforms, advertising, external elements such as screens appearing on internal circuits of some public transport, film and documentaries, and any artistic or cultural manifestation.
- Analyze the flows of scientific misinformation in the public sphere. Study how erroneous or malicious science and technology content is disseminated and how it could impact public opinion.
- Study the impact of scientific information on the general audience.
- To investigate the perception, understanding, and attitude toward science and technology of the general public.
- Study new forms of citizen participation in science and technology.
