Ana Prendes and Guillermo Solana with Ángel Cárdenas
CERN: Science and Art
–
IE University. Sala Capitular
Science and art are disciplines that often take seemingly opposite paths. But each, in its own field, seeks to provide answers to society's most important questions. The European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, an eminently scientific institution, is aware of the need to involve agents from across society’s spectrum, especially artists, so that both disciplines may learn from each other's research and output.
Ana Prendes, assistant curator at Arts at CERN, will talk with Guillermo Solana, Spanish philosopher, doctor of Philosophy, professor of Aesthetics and Theory of the Arts at the Autonomous University of Madrid and artistic director of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid.
The event will be moderated by Ángel Cárdenas, expert manager in Latin America.

Ignacio Morgado in conversation with Inmaculada Ballesteros
The capacities of memory
–
Biblioteca Municipal Casa de la Lectura
Memory is not a linear mechanism that needs equal circumstances and identical stimuli. The brain manages to find the ways of learning and how to store the information it receives; and then, apply it to our intelligence with the best use; that is in case it develops the whole process well. And very important, it is neither convenient nor necessary to retain everything in memory, and for it to be efficient, health is an essential element. Ignacio Morgado will talk about this with Inmaculada Ballesteros.
Morgado is a renowned neuroscientist and Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the Institute of Neurosciences and the Faculty of Psychology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. His works include La fábrica de las ilusiones, Emociones corrosivas, Deseo y placer and Aprender, recordar, olvidar. Ballesteros is an expert in cultural policies, institutional relations and digital transition. She is an advisor to national and international organizations and is Acción Cultural Española (AC/E)'s Director of Programming.
At the end of the meeting, the author will sign copies of his works.
