During the meeting, which was also attended by José Pla and Vicent Penadès, president and general director of Caja Ontinyent, respectively, the principal informed the Mayor of Ontinyent of her willingness to study the introduction of another degree at the Ontinyent Campus, with the aim of completing the academic offer, which currently enjoys a high demand, as evidenced by the fact that all degrees have waiting lists. For his part, the mayor thanked the principal for her involvement in the Ontinyent Campus, and said that the council will continue to collaborate financially in the implementation of new degrees, as it has been doing so far with the invaluable collaboration of Caja Ontinyent.

The presence of the principal in Ontinyent has been used to sign before a notary the free transfer by the city council to the Universitat de València of two plots that will allow the expansion of the campus facilities. These are two plots, one of them from the former El Punt factory, located on Avenida Torrefiel, which cost Ontinyent City Council 380,000 euros. A green area and a recreational area for the students of the university campus have been created in the resulting space.
