W E L L N E S S FCC Medio Ambiente and the University of Zaragoza create the “FCC Chair in Occupational Hazard Prevention and Human Resources”. The dean of the University of Zarago- za, José Antonio Mayoral, and the di- rector of the FCC Environment of Ara- gon-La Rioja branch office, Joaquín Jiménez López de Oñate, have sig- ned an agreement for the creation of the “FCC Chair in Occupational Risk Prevention and Human Resources”. The new joint institution with the Uni- versity of Zaragoza was created with its own entity and relevance, combi- ned with the close relationship that the FCC Group maintains with the city, where it has been providing envi- ronmental services since 1940. The new chair will focus its activity on the areas of Occupational Safe- ty, Industrial Hygiene, Ergonomics, Applied Psycho-sociology and Hu- man Resources. Among its main ob- jectives is the support for studies and research in the field of Occupational Hazard Prevention and Human Re- sources by the University of Zaragoza and the support for blended learning of the Master’s Degree in Human Re- sources at the University of Zaragoza. This collaboration agreement will also focus on the design and organisation of dissemination and training activities (conferences and specialisation se- minars); support for doctoral theses, end-of-degree projects and student internships; as well as the awarding of prizes and grants, and the production of publications based on the subjects covered by the Chair. This Chair constitutes a strategic union between business and univer- sity, lasting over time where both par- ties will benefit from the results in re- search, development and innovation that will be jointly developed in diffe- rent areas of knowledge, both from a scientific and business point of view. The Aragón-Rioja branch office of FCC Medio Ambiente has had a pre- sence in the local area for more than 75 years and employs 2,200 people.
