The ceremony will take place at Paranimf at 19:00h and is the first conference of the series ‘Diálogos ante una eventual reforma de la Constitución’, organised by Cañada Blanch Chair for Contemporary Thinking of the Universitat de València.

The conference will be hosted by the Vice-Principal for Culture and Equality of the Universitat de València, Antonio Ariño; the president of the Foundation Cañada Blanc, Juan López-Trigo and it will be moderated by David Blanquer, State Attorney (surplus) and full university professor of Administrative law. 

This series of conferences is part of the activities organised by the Foundation Cañada Blanch for Contemporary Thinking of the Universitat de València and counts on the collaboration of the Office of the Vice-Principal for Culture and Equality and ‘Le Monde diplomatique’ in Spanish. The aim of this Chair is to promote the research activities related to current important social issues of cultural, political and economic interest.  In particular, these talks try to create debate forums that make easier the identification of significant topics and problems in the field of thought. So it is possible to open new ways of dialogues and intellectual exchange.

According to Juan López-Trigo: “ Cañada Blanch Chair for Contemporary Thinking is famous for not only addressing to specialists, but also to the public interested in rethinking about our world and expanding their reference points”. He also states: “For this series of conferences, we count on the contribution of Le Monde diplomatique in Spanish and the continuous support of the Universitat de València. Last year they made possible the attendance of such important people in Valencia to determine the direction of Europe. And now, we want to do the same with the continuous debate about the Spanish Constitution”.
