gen10(E). Rehearsing the real
The UPV celebrates the tenth anniversary of UPV Design Factory with an exhibition that traces its history and looks to the future
[ 09/12/2025 ]
Over the last decade, more than 15,000 students from the Universitat Politècnica de València have participated in interdisciplinary projects, expanding their knowledge and training beyond the classroom. This experience has been made possible thanks to UPV Design Factory, a pioneering programme at Spanish public universities that has transformed the way students learn, create and share knowledge.
Since its launch in 2014, UPV Design Factory has promoted an active learning model based on student-led team management and interdisciplinary collaboration. Many of the teams have competed internationally, and some have even achieved business success.
All brought together in an exhibition
Now, all the successes and the journey taken to this point have been brought together in an exhibition that can be visited in the N-1 space of the Central Library until 19 December.
'gen10(E). Rehearsing the real' offers a tour of this decade of collective work through three distinct areas that allow visitors to recognise the past, experience the present and anticipate the future.' From seed to system 'covers the milestones and key moments of the programme.' Learning by doing' brings together materials, images and objects from the teams - including a time capsule - that reflect the culture of doing and shared memory. 'Futures under construction' looks ahead with the presentation of the new UPV Design Factory building.
Curated by Àngela Montesinos Lapuente, the exhibition is part of the UPV_SIRVE Strategic Plan, promoted by the Vice-Rectors for Planning, Studies, Quality and Accreditation; Art, Science, Technology and Society, and the Vice-rectorate for Students and Entrepreneurship, responsible for the UPV Design Factory programme, which promotes leadership, entrepreneurship and interdisciplinarity in the university community.
