Dissemination of Knowledge Programs

In 2019 the Fundación Ramón Areces organized 115 events for its knowledge dissemination programs.

A significant number of these activities (scientific expert meetings, lecture series, round tables, conferences and symposia) were organized in collaboration with prestigious institutions, universities, royal academies and research centers of excellence, both national and international.

The Fundación Ramón Areces annually publishes works of scientific, historical, cultural and economic interest, which are made available to scholars and researchers for knowledge dissemination. These non-commercial publications constitute an archive for various research works, symposia and lecture series which have been held at the headquarters of the Foundation, and for texts by leading authors and collaborations with prestigious institutions. The Foundation publishes too a magazine dedicated to Sciences and Humanities.

The publications made in 2019 are available on this link.

Likewise, the Foundation has a video channel  (www.fundacionareces.tv) that covers all its events and it has its own YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn accounts.
