Alicante, February 4, 2026.– The University of Alacant (UA) has held the conference “The institutional integrity system: Regulatory framework, risks and internal information systems”, an initiative organized by the Institute of Education Sciences (ICE) of the UA in collaboration with the Valencian Anti-Corruption Agency (AVAF).

 

The activity, which took place on the Sant Vicent del Raspeig campus, had a successful participation,  exceeding one hundred registered among Teaching and Research Staff (PDI), Technical, Management and Administration and Services Staff (PTGAS), researchers and staff with management functions.

 

The event was attended by the Manager of the UA, Julio García Mora, and the Vice-Rector for Economic and Strategic Planning, Ángel Sánchez, who stressed that this training was essential for the strengthening of democratic values and solid institutions. On behalf of the Agency, Pilar Moreno and Mayte López, senior training technicians of the AVAF, intervened.

 

The main objective of the session was to delve into the systems for the fight against fraud and corruption, as well as to provide preventive tools and raise awareness of responsibility towards the public in the university context.

 

Throughout the five hours of the day, the bases of the institutional system for the fight against corruption and the legal framework in force in the Valencian Community were analyzed. Likewise, the culture of public integrity, the risks of fraud in the administration and the operation of information channels were addressed, with special mention of the AVAF complaints mailbox. The session encouraged active participation through a workshop-debate on conflict of interest and the use of technologies to collect feedback from attendees.

 

This type of conference consolidates institutional collaboration to bring public servants closer to the real challenges of public ethics and the defense of the general interest.
