Call for activity projects

The Call for Activity Projects is the programme through which the Student Recreation Centre (CALUM) funds and supports activities proposed by UPV students themselves. Every year a call opens for artistic, cultural and recreational proposals to be carried out at the Centre.

Its aim is a more participatory programme, closer to the interests of the university community: activities should complement students’ education and integration by strengthening skills, abilities and values. Purely festive projects are excluded; recreational or leisure proposals must fit into a cultural, educational or general-interest context.

Who can apply

  • Students enrolled in official UPV degrees, individually or as a group.
  • School student delegations and the UPV Student Council (CEUPV).
  • You may submit as many projects as you wish.
  • Every project must be coordinated by the student who proposes it, who commits to volunteering in its execution.

Conditions

  • Activities take place at the Student Recreation Centre or its surroundings, on any campus (Vera, Gandia or Alcoi).
  • They must directly benefit the university’s students and participation is always free. A deposit may be requested; it is returned at the end of the activity to those who took part.
  • The Centre provides selected projects with the material, financial and human resources they need: it may fund the whole project or part of it, depending on the budget available.
  • Execution depends on time, conditions and budget; the Centre may propose changes and, if no agreement is reached, withdraw from the project with no compensation for its promoters.
  • If the activity includes prizes, the rules must be processed through the Vice-Rectorate secretariat for publication in the National Grants Database (BDNS) before any contest is announced. Without this prior authorisation the contest is void and no payment can be processed.

Calendar

  • Two periods each year for carrying out projects: February to May and September to December. Projects outside these periods may be authorised exceptionally.
  • Deadline: 31 October of the current year (2026 call).
  • Decision: the Vice-Rector for Students and Entrepreneurship decides within seven days of the application and notifies the applicants.

Applications are assessed by a selection committee made up of the Vice-Rector for Students and Entrepreneurship, the President of the UPV Student Council and the person in charge of the Student Recreation Centre, who acts as secretary.
