Television and social media have made, through image, the attention be focused on the candidate and not on ideas or programs. Thus, the leader is not just as such for his/her intellectual qualities, but also for his/her media competence. With this new picture, where more iconic and show centered politics take place, television has incorporated the presence of politicians in their infotainment programs with aims of drawing the highest number of audience possible.

  • PR Bluesath Installation
    BlueSATH, Saitec’s first floating wind installation in continental Spain Santander, 11 August 2020.- BlueSATH floating wind platform has been installed and commissioned in its final deployment site in El Abra del Sardinero (Santander, Spain). The Spanish engineering company Saitec Offshore Technologies has set off towing operation from Astander’s Dock Pontejos, where it was tied up for its set-up, towards its destination 800 meters away off Cantabrian coast. Then, the already-laid mooring lines were retrieved from the seabed and the platform hook-up was accomplished in less than 3 hours. Finally, commissioning offshore has successfully been completed so the turbine is ready to operate. Testing will take place in real sea environment with the deployment of a 1:6 scaled prototype of a 10 MW wind turbine using SATH floating technology, (Swinging Around Twin Hull) an innovative, competitive and cost efficient solution for offshore wind industry which has been validated in several water tank tests since 2014. The location in El Abra del Sardinero has been chosen due to its ideal characteristics to carry out the tests as it offers scaled conditions that perfectly adapted to BlueSATH platform. David Carrascosa, CTO Saitec Offshore Technologies, has commented that this is "the definitive step to test the technology in real conditions". He has also affirmed that this kind of energy has a very high local content, so it is a lever to generate employment. In addition, he has remarked that this is an emerging market that has huge possibilities by removing the depth barriers. And he concluded by saying that "we are facing a very good opportunity for Spain to once again be a pioneer in renewables".

  • Santander Encounter of Music and Academy
    Cantabria and the city of Santander host the Santander Encounter of Music and Academy, and offer their best scenarios at the service of this wonderful educational and musical project, a one-of-a-kind international event in the world years SantanDER ENCOUNTER OF MUSIC AND ACADEMY CANTABRIA 2001—2021 Paloma o’Shea Founding President of the Albéniz Foundation he Santander Music and Academy Encounter was born alongside the beginning of this century. I had visited Tanglewood Music School in Massachusetts, led by Leon Fleisher, and saw that the concepts of a Tsummer music festival and an academy merged there with a level of perfection that was difficult to achieve in Europe. At the same time, there was an increasingly evident gap in the music season in Santander and the entire region. With these two realities in mind, the Albéniz Foundation designed the Encounter of Music and Academy, and offered it to the Government of Cantabria. Their response was immediate and positive and, since then, both entities promote the project side by side each year. For its part, the Santander City Council enthusiastically joined the initiative. In addition, the Menéndez Pelayo International University, the University of Cantabria, and many private companies in the region decided to collaborate on a project that, from the onset, enjoyed the public’s favor. During these years, the Encounter has hosted top international academic experts and performers of each instrument. Their names are included in this book, but I would like to remember here one who was the soul of the Encounter every time he came: our dear Professor Dmitri Bashkirov, who has just left us.

Today, fifty years later, having kept its main focus on Cantabria, the Fundación Botín operates all over Spain and Latin America, contributing to the overall development of society by exploring new ways of uncovering creative talent and supporting it to generate cultural, social and economic wealth. Fundación Botín organises programmes in the realms of the arts and culture, education, science and rural development, and supports social institutions in Cantabria so as to reach those most in need. It has also created a Trend Observatory to gain in-depth knowl- edge of society and pinpoint key factors to help generate wealth and guide development. The Observatory also promotes talent detection and development programmes in the so- cial and public sectors. The Foundation’s headquarters are in Santander, where it has an exhibition hall as well as El Promontorio and Villa Iris, two emblematic locations in the city used for institutional events and for holding exhibitions and workshops, respectively. Since 2012 it has had offices in Madrid to cater for the growing demands of its activity.

  • Press Release
    Press Release Xella Opens A New Plant for Gypsum Fibreboards in Spain Santander/Duisburg, 26 June 2013 – Today in the presence of the Regional Government President of Cantabria, Ignacio Diego, the Duisburg-based building materials group Xella will officially open the new production plant in Orejo, located near the Cantabrian capital of Santander, Northern Spain. The production plant will manufacture high quality gypsum fibreboards and will lay the foundations for further profitable growth of Fermacell GmbH, a subsidiary of Xella . At the start of 2012, Xella submitted a bid in a public auction for the newly built but unfinished plant in Orejo, previously owned by GFB Cantabria S.A. In April, Xella won the bid for the purchase price of € 14.5 million. Another € 8 million have been invested for creating a state-of-the-art factory and the plant is now ready to work to its full production capacity. As a part of the official opening it was announced that further €8 million will be invested for expansion in the near future. The total investment will amount to around € 30 million. Fermacell intends to produce up to 12 million sqm of gypsum fibreboards every year and 60 new jobs will be created. Xella CEO Jan Buck-Emden says: “The reasons for expanding the production of gypsum fiberboards has been the increased market demand, which has been rising for years, and the considerable additional sales potential in all product segments which are faced with extensive utilization of existing factories. With the quantities we produce in Spain we are going to supply the large construction markets in France, Great Britain and Scandinavia.” Moreover, our presence on the Spanish market will contribute to strengthening of our market positions in Europe.
