The awards ceremony will take place at the Algeciras School of Engineering (ETSIA) at the end of January 2025.
Since its foundation in 2005, the Chair's activity has focused on promoting and incentivizing aspects regarding education, research, technology transfer and dissemination, currently focusing on social innovation and student development. The relationship between the University of Cadiz and Moeve dates back to the founding of the Algeciras University School of Technical Industrial Engineering. Since then, the two institutions have collaborated on numerous occasions, and have signed a wide range of specific agreements.
The Fundación Moeve chairs
The Fundación Moeve Chairs at the Universities of Cadiz, Huelva and La Laguna are continually strengthened thanks to the contributions and involvement of the company's professionals as well as the academic institutions committed to improving research, training, knowledge flow and innovation.
Fundación Moeve Chairs have helped thousands of students to approach the professional world and bring university professors closer to the reality of the energy sectors. Knowledge and experience exchange between Moeve professionals and university teachers and students has led to the professional enrichment of all of them. For all these reasons, Moeve stands out as a valuable partner to these universities.
