INTRODUCTION HIGHLIGHTS As in previous years, the Commission received generous support from the U.S. Department of State and the Spanish government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and especially the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports, whose contribution was even higher due to the considerable increase in the number of scholarships offered. Funds received for the Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship (ETA) program from regional governments have grown as a result of the new cooperation agreement signed with the Department of Education of the Regional Government of Canarias and the private Jesuitas School in Asturias, and also due to an increase in the number of awards for U.S. citizens from the Regional Government of Galicia. The Commission has also signed another agreement with the Regional Government of Galicia to fund a new postdoctoral program within the scope of the Galician University System for researchers to carry out postdoctoral research at top research centers in the United States. Funding for the Spanish graduate program continued to be supplemented through sponsorship from the regional governments of the Junta de Andalucía and from private foundations and multinational companies including Coca-Cola, El Corte Inglés, Fundación Iberdrola España, Fundación Mapfre, Fundación Ramón Areces and Grifols. A new cooperation agreement has been signed with Cosentino to fund an award for AY 2019- 2020. The Commission is extremely grateful to these companies whose contributions enabled more awards to be offered to Spanish citizens.

Fulbright association also sponsors a scholarship for a Spanish student to carry out graduate studies in the USA. The Commission has a close relationship with the Association, regularly inviting its members to participate in events held by the Commission and publicizing the Association’s events and activities on its social networks. Whenever possible, grantees returning to Spain for visits are invited to engage with their sponsors and present their study projects at institutional meetings organized throughout the year. Fulbright grantees and private sponsors To encourage visits from U.S. professors to Spain, the Commission has continued reaching agreements with different universities by offering them the possibility to select a Fulbright professor who fits a certain profile of interest to the university. The university is responsible for the financial aspects of the visit. The Fulbright Commission organized the NEA Fulbright Regional Workshop in Madrid, which took place on March 31st to April 4th. Participants included staff members from IIE, ECA, World Learning, AMIDEAST and Fulbright staff from Egypt, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Tunisia, Oman, Qatar, Morocco, Lebanon, Iraq, Israel, UAE, Bahrain, Palestinian Territories, Kuwait and Tunisia. The Workshop comprised of three days of sessions at the Melia Madrid Serrano Hotel and an optional excursion to Toledo. Visit to Toledo, NEA participants 2 Annual Report 2018-2019 In 2018, the Fulbright program in Spain has turned 60 and to celebrate its anniversary the Commission organized events in Madrid and Washington D.C. The event in Madrid took place on October 16th at the Prado Museum with a ceremony chaired by His Majesty King Felipe VI of Spain, Fulbright Honor Scholar, who presented the award for "a Fulbright Career" to Dr. Mariano Barbacid, a Fulbright Spanish Scholar. The award recognized Dr. Barbacid’s entire professional career dedicated to research ever since receiving his Fulbright Grant at the National Institute of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, between 1975 and 1977.

  • Toledo Congress Center, El Greco Toledo, Spain December 2Nd - 4Th, 2015
    Organized by: PRELIMINARY PROGRAM Toledo Congress Center, El Greco Toledo, Spain December 2nd - 4th, 2015 TOLEDO WORLD CAPITAL OF HYDRATION, 2015 © Antonio L. Pareja On an evening in 1614, Domenikos Theotokopoulos, El Greco, picked up the easel and concluded his work “View and Plan of Toledo”, in which he described his particular vision of a city that owes its existence to the Tagus river. Exactly 400 years later, A. Pareja replaces oil painting by photography and the easel by the tripod in order to capture -this time reflecting the true picture- the same view of the City of the Three Cultures and from the same place where El Greco designed his painting. WELCOME Dear friends, Hydration is a health and nutrition field whose relevance is continuously growing among the scientific, medical and pharmaceutical communities, but also in the dietetics and nutrition areas and among consumers worldwide. We find ourselves facing this challenge, which is also a great opportunity, where the scientific community can join efforts to work as one, providing a global vision on new research areas related to hydration and its role in health. Therefore, it is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the II International and IV Spanish Hydration Congress that will be held the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of December 2015 in Toledo; a beautiful city representative of cultural and intellectual diversity. This event, which has taken place every two years since 2008, has become a scientific milestone of tremendous international significance. The last congress, held in 2013, enjoyed the participation of over 1,000 health and nutrition experts from 22 countries within 5 continents, and where 91 new scientific papers were presented.

  • An Android App for Exploring 3D Roman Inscriptions
    EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (2016) C. E. Catalano and L. De Luca (Editors) Digital epigraphic heritage made simple: an Android app for exploring 3D Roman inscriptions Manuel Ramírez1, Jose P. Suárez2, Agustín Trujillo3, Pablo Fernández2, Jose M. Santana3 and Sebastián Ortega3 1Research Institute of Text Analysis and Applications, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. 2 Institute for Information and Communication Systems (IUMA), University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. 3 Imaging Technology Center (CTIM), University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. Abstract Spain keeps an exceptional epigraphic heritage, dated from the Roman civilization, that integrates thousands of Latin inscrip- tions nowadays disseminated along the Iberian peninsula. For many purposes such as education, innovation, cataloging, study and dissemination of this type of historical documentation, a clear demand of placing all this epigraphic heritage into modern 3D graphics, internet and mobile devices is increasing. We present the novel ‘Epigraphia 3D’ for handheld devices, a native Android app for exploring a total of 60 Roman inscriptions from the National Museum of Roman Art (Mérida, Badajoz). The work emphasizes the 3D nature feature for navigating through the inscriptions, by using Glob3 Mobile, an open source GIS framework for visualizing the 3D inscriptions. Besides, an error analysis of the simplified models is tackled. Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.3 [Computer Graphics]: Picture/Image Generation—Digitizing and Scanning 1. Introduction quantify the magnitude of the deterioration and possible damage. Mobile platforms as Android, the most common mobile OS, offer Digital revolution is coming very quickly in the Humanities.
