The Universitat Jaume I has joined the national STEAM Alliance for Female Talent, promoted by Spain’s Ministry of Education to encourage girls and young women to pursue studies in science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics, and to help close the gender gap in these fields. Membership requires submitting a project that promotes STEAM careers among girls and adolescents and passing a rigorous evaluation process.

The university’s application included three initiatives: "Sucre", which introduces computational thinking and programming in primary and secondary schools; "Ingeniera… ¿por qué no?", which raises awareness and provides resources to increase the presence of women in technical degrees; and "Connecta amb la ciència", a programme offering hands-on workshops and talks to secondary school students led by researchers from the university’s science and technology areas.
