Fecha: 22/Jul/2011 Time: 11:00

Target group: The seminar was aimed primarily at college students and young researchers, to offer them an overview of various issues related to computing R&D in Spain since the main intention is to provide a better selection criteria on the topics they would like to work and which professional fields they could choose. Besides it would provide a useful feedback to the speakers since they would be able to contact current students and thus, learn their main interest and doubts.
