AVAF strengthens integrity training for the management and teaching staff of Universitat Jaume I

Courses
Castelló de la Plana, 16 june 2025.– The Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency (AVAF), through its Training Area, has delivered a session aimed at the management (PTGAS) and teaching and research staff (PDI) of the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló (UJI), focused on promoting a culture of integrity in the university environment.

 

Under the title “Culture of Prevention: Strategies for an Ethical Administration”, the session was organized by the UJI’s Educational Training and Innovation Unit (UFIE) and held in the auditorium of the Research Building II.

 

The programme addressed the main integrity risks in university administrative management, as well as the institutional anti-corruption framework at European, national, and regional levels.

 

It also covered practical aspects such as the risks associated with public procurement and the importance of internal reporting systems, which are mandatory for universities under Law 2/2023. The session concluded with a participatory workshop on risks in public decision-making.

 

The event was attended by Modesto Fabra Valls, Vice-Rector for Economic and Strategic Planning at UJI, who accompanied the AVAF teaching team during the training session.

 

With this session, AVAF’s Training Area concludes its activities for the first half of 2025, after having delivered training to a wide range of institutions.

 

These include the first training activity carried out in a hospital, as well as sessions with local administrations, regional ministries, foundations, educational centres — such as schools and secondary institutions — and universities. Sessions were also held at the Barcelona Provincial Council, in regional ministries from autonomous communities such as Aragon and the Canary Islands, in state entities such as IMSERSO, and two editions of the course with the National Institute of Public Administration (INAP).

València, 11 june 2025.- Over 50 professionals from the Institute for the Elderly and Social Services (IMSERSO) participated in the training session “Integrity and the Fight Against Corruption: Law 2/2023,” organized by the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency (AVAF) as part of IMSERSO’s internal training plan for 2025.

Key topics covered during the session included the institutional integrity system, the importance of fostering a culture of integrity in public administration, major risks of fraud and corruption, and the whistleblower protection mechanisms established in Law 2/2023 on the protection of persons reporting regulatory violations and combating corruption.

 

The session concluded with a participatory workshop on conflict of interest, which allowed attendees to deepen their understanding of how to detect and properly manage such conflicts in the public sector.

 

Through this initiative, the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency strengthens its role in supporting and advising public institutions in the promotion of integrity—this time with IMSERSO, a body under the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and Agenda 2030.
