This scientific meeting, held on October 21, 22 and 23 on three Madrid campuses: Manuel Becerra (URJC), Puerta de Toledo (UC3M) and Fuenlabrada (URJC), brought together researchers from various fields with the aim of having a multidisciplinary approach to the study of Spain's projection in the world, from the XNUMXth century to the present day.
Through its 5 presentations and 41 communications, carried out by experts from 27 universities from three continents (Europe, America and Asia) over the course of 20 hours, ideas have been exchanged, debates have been generated and experts from various fields and disciplines have been brought into contact, united by the objective of reflecting on the Spanish political, cultural, economic and social forms and actors that have had an influence beyond the borders of the Iberian Peninsula between the XNUMXth and XNUMXst centuries. This has enabled us to address the inter and transnational evolution of models, trajectories and dynamics, as well as their impact in the international context.
All these interventions have been organized into four thematic lines: one on political-institutional models, both Spanish and the influence that others may have had on them; another on the personal trajectories of prominent Spaniards on the international scene; a third on manifestations and persistences of the cultural impacts that could occur with Spanish action; and, finally, a last one on commercial and financial dynamics in the global context and Spain's role in them.
This conference was organised jointly with the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. It also included the collaboration of PhD students from the FCEDEI and the Department of Historical and Social Studies, Spanish Language, Literature, Moral Philosophy and Specific Didactics, the Consolidated Research Group in Urban History (URJC) and the High-Performance Research Group in History, Iconography and Economics of Art (URJC).
With this, the URJC once again stands out on the academic and research scene, managing to establish effective links with other institutions when organizing its events and establishing interdisciplinary networks that allow it to continue advancing knowledge and its transfer to society.
