The scholarships are intended to promote studies in humanities, science or engineering. This is the sixteenth year of the programme, from which more than 100 British and Spanish postgraduate students have already benefited.
The Ambassador highlighted the formidable work of the British-Spanish Society dedicated to promoting understanding between Spanish and British societies, which has one of its most elaborate examples in the prestigious scholarship programme. The head of the Spanish representation also recollected “ the search and acquisition of talent must be a constant objective for any successful company and one of the main priorities of its corporate culture."
