The Universitat Jaume I expands the internationalisation of research with four joint actions within the framework of the EDUC-WIDE project (IMAGE)

Four research teams from the fields of Materials Science, Education, Communication and Psychology at the Universitat Jaume I are taking part in four of the eight joint research actions launched under the EDUC-WIDE project, aimed at strengthening cooperation among the universities of the EDUC alliance and with their local research ecosystems.
The public university of Castelló is thus opening new opportunities for internationalization for its research groups in areas such as communication inequality, behavioural and psychophysiological research, inclusion, and materials science, strategic fields of the "Empowering EDUC for Inclusive Development of the ERA (EDUC-WIDE)" initiative, which has offered a major opportunity to expand international collaboration.
Of the eight projects awarded, one is coordinated by the UJI: CleanPhotoCat, managed by the Photoactive Materials for Energy (PHAME) group, which aims to advance wastewater purification technology through the development and testing of highly efficient catalysts such as Fenton and Photo-Fenton, promoting sustainable water purification methods that minimize environmental impact and operating costs.
In the field of psychology, How Prediction Errors Shape Social Perceptions seeks to explore the neurophysiological and behavioural mechanisms of social perception through predictive processing and examine their link to internalizing and externalizing psychopathological tendencies. This study is connected to the research line of UJI’s Laboratory of Affective Neuroscience (LaBNA), which focuses on multidomain studies of the psychophysiological and cognitive mechanisms involved in attentional and emotional processing.
CIVIC, driven by the Research Group on Practical Ethics and Democracy and the ENCOM Group (Emotional Bonding and Communication), aims to bridge communication gaps, particularly in the context of climate change and natural disasters. The project will produce practical recommendations to improve public-sector communication and identify barriers that hinder the spread of reliable, verified information in order to strengthen institutional trust, increase citizen preparedness, and encourage informed participation.
EDUC BRIDGE, developed by the Research Group on Educational Improvement and Critical Citizenship, seeks to build an international network to share practices, knowledge, techniques, and common challenges to reduce barriers faced by university students with special needs (disabilities or chronic and severe illnesses), particularly during mobility experiences.
