During the week of October 23-27, Worldwide Week at Harvard showcases the remarkable breadth of Harvard’s global engagement. During the Worldwide Week, Harvard Schools, research centers, departments, and student organizations will host academic and cultural events with global or international themes. In this context, RCC Harvard will host a series of events dedicated to a wide variety of topics.
Our first event of this series will be Science in Spain, organized through the initiative Science@RCC. The event will consist of a round table discussion regarding recent achievements of the Spanish science, possible improvements, as well as challenges and future developments. We will also discuss the Spanish entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystems, understanding its strengths and weaknesses in comparison to other important global poles of innovation and entrepreneurship as Silicon Valley or Cambridge. We will emphasize how the presence of international researchers and teams strengthens Harvard’s position within the scientific community.
The speakers will share their experience in several research institutions both in Spain and the US: Harvard University, MIT, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain's National Research Council (CSIC) and Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
This is an open event and we welcome the participation of the audience. We especially encourage fellows from Science@RCC to share their ideas and participate in the debate.
We will host an informal reception after the event.
Speakers: Juan Pérez Mercader, Senior Research Fellow and Principal Investigator, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Harvard University; Ángel F. Agudo Peregrina, RCC Fellow, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health; Sara García Linares, RCC Postdoctoral Fellow, Harvard Medical School; Oscar Viyuela García, RCC Postdoctoral Fellow, Harvard University & MIT
