MOTIVEM closes its participation with an increase of 12.5% over the previous edition. There are 189 teams that have presented their ideas in this 2020 edition, which also confirms an increase in the participation of coordinators and collaborating teachers -108 and 36 respectively, which means a total increase of 12.5% compared to 2019-; and 756 students -17% more than the previous year-. The global data confirm the success of the new MOTIVEM call, despite the difficulties generated by COVID-19.

This year, once again, all 18 centres that make up the Universitat of València participated in this edition of MOTIVEM. As a novelty with respect to previous editions, this year MOTIVEM increases the number of awards and includes five prizes, one for each branch of knowledge: Arts and Humanities, Sciences, Health Sciences, Social and Legal Sciences and Engineering. In addition, 15 runner-up prizes will be awarded. This will bring the number of winning teams to 20.

What is MOTIVEM?

This initiative, directed by the Vice-Principal of Employment and Training Programmes, has the financial support of the Generalitat Valenciana, within the framework of its Campus of Innovative Entrepreneurship programme, and of "la Caixa" Social Work. MOTIVEM rewards ideas generated jointly by students at the Universitat and by the teaching staff, who coordinate the teams.
