Jaume I University is a public higher education institution in Castelló de la Plana established in 1991. The modern campus features open green spaces, contemporary buildings equipped with technology-rich classrooms and labs, plus cafés and sports facilities for student use.
Founded in 1991, the university pioneered technology adoption in Spanish education by launching Spain's first public web server and establishing the nation's first program in Design and Product Development. These innovations shaped its identity as a forward-thinking institution.
