Ongoing Activities

I don't have any special training in sciences. I coursed a B.A., a M.A., a Cultural Management Postgraduate Course, and I am PhD in Arts and Philosophy (Quaternary and Prehistory). With this academic background I have been contributing to Atapuerca and related projects from 1990 to 2010 in the fieldwork, but specially administratively from backstage. As a part of that I contributed to built up IPHES from its beginnins at Universitat Rovira i Virgili.

Due to my roles in IPHES, I’m like a rolling factor working to see through something. At this moment my hot topics of interest cover different aspects concerning my ongoing occupations:

1.- Strategic Planning and Strategic Planned Behaviour

• Scientific Management
• Research Plans and Heuristic Ways
• Funding Research Schemes

2.- Cultural Heritage Management (CHM)

• Strategies of Cultural Heritage Equipments
• CHM as Experience Economy
• Application of R&D to CHM

3.- Evaluation of Scientific Research

4.- Public Engagement in / of Science

5.- Social Uses of Technology
