Aquae Foundation presents its first Aquae Campus online

The master class of Ana Sáenz de Miera, director of Ashoka Spain, was recorded at the Faculty of Law of the Málaga University thanks to the support of Hidralia

Aquae Foundation, the foundation of Hidralia, launches its first Aquae Campus in exclusively online format and focused on innovation. Experts of international projection share their ideas and transformative projects in this online campus through conferences, practical workshops and interactive games under the thematic axis 'Innovation & Inspiration'. One of these restless minds is Ana Saénz de Miera, director of Ashoka Spain, whose master class was recorded in the Aula Magna of the Faculty of Law of the Málaga University during the celebration of the Aquae Talent Hub.

The scientific innovation is in charge of Pablo Martínez Ruiz del Árbol, PhD in the calibration and construction of the CMS (Muones Compact Solenoid) detector located in the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) of the CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Geneva (Switzerland). This Cantabrian physicist takes us into the fascinating world of particle physics and the current challenges of this science, such as the discovery of the Higgs Boson or dark matter.

Innovation in solidarity communication is also present in this Aquae Campus 2018 thanks to the writer, journalist and screenwriter Santiago Roncagliolo, considered by The Wall Street Journal as 'one of the next García Márquez'. In 2005, invited by Fundación Aquae, Roncagliolo traveled with a UNICEF team through the rivers of the Peruvian jungle to learn about what it is like to live without safe water and without sanitation. This experience in the Peruvian Amazon marked him so much that he decided to capture it in a report in the newspaper El País ('The pride of Bena Gema').

This online platform also explores cultural innovation, which focuses on the North American editor Valerie Miles, also a writer, university professor, cultural journalist and co-founder of the magazine Granta in Spanish. In love with the Spanish language, Valerie Miles has become an intercultural bridge between the Hispanic world and the Anglo-Saxon world, getting readers from all over the world to discover the talent of authors like the Chilean Roberto Bolaño, whose work Miles is an expert.
