Pedro Duque at the Historical Library

The Minister of Science, Innovation and Universities, Pedro Duque, made a visit to the historic building of La Nau, where he was received by the Rector of the University of Valencia, Mª Vicenta Mestre, and by the President of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig , in order to promote the role of women in the world of university and science.

Antonio Ariño accompanied them on the tour explaining some of the most representative and valuable facilities of La Nau, the original headquarters of the University of Valencia that this year celebrates its 520 years of history, such as the Cloister , the Historical Library, the Auditorium or the Chapel. In the Historical Library, they visited the current exhibition on the llibrets of failure titled 'Cinc cèntims valia el llibret!', Where they have been able to contemplate some of the "llibrets fallers" with more than one hundred years of history, as well as some of the incunabula that they lodge between their shelves and that the staff of the Library has shown them.
