Presentation

Among its main goals, the Office of the Vice-Principal for Culture and Society of Universitat de València aims to disseminate its immovable heritage.
The historic La Nau building is undoubtedly the bastion of the University of Valencia, with regard to both the construction itself and its contents. This exceptional building located in the centre of Valencia constitutes the very history of the University and also holds part of the University's most important collections.
Apart from witnessing history, the University has sought to preserve La Nau and turn it into the institution's main cultural reference. This is why the Historic Library coexists with the former Office of the Principal, the auditorium, the Aula Magna, the Matilde Salvador room, the chapel, the exhibition rooms, the lecture rooms and the management offices.

The University Culture Service of the Universitat de València was created in 2018 to provide resources to the areas of Cultural programme, Cultural heritage and Society. It is formed by a professional team specialised in different areas of Cultural Management and Heritage, which is committed to continuous improvement od its services. Its main mission is to manage the cultural proposals born within the university community and promote them through Activa Cultura, Activa Fest, Activa Música y Residir en la Investigación,as well as proposing a regular and diverse programming of cultural activity in Cultural Centre La Nau and the different university campuses. The Cultural Heritage Area will ensure the conservation and dissemination of a heritage acquired throughout its more than five centuries in which the historical, artistic, cultural, natural and scientific museum collection have been created. The Society Area will establish the necessary links and programmes to ensure that training and culture reach different groups and populations. An example of this is the training aimed at older people NAU GRAN and the programmes of UNISOCIETAT. In this way, the University Culture Service provides the necessary services to contribute to the institution’s objectives, which are always directed towards university community and society.
