For 30 years, the Elecnor Group has collaborated with the School of Industrial Engineering (ETSII) and the Department of Electrical Engineering (DIE) of the Polytechnic University of Valencia through the Master’s Thesis Scholarship Program. The program is aimed at final-year students of the Master’s degrees in Industrial Engineering and Energy Engineering for Sustainable Development. Each year, five students receive scholarships to carry out their master’s theses focused on electrical and energy engineering. Many of these students are now part of Elecnor’s workforce and hold positions of responsibility.

The Elecnor scholarships have also proven to be an effective way to maintain strong university–industry relations. These are the thesis projects that have received scholarships in recent years:
