News from our members
Congratulations go to Prof. Cecilia Acquarone Ph. D. Cecilia has been awarded
Premio Extraordinario de Doctorado by UNED. The ceremony took place about a month ago in Madrid and, as Cecilia could not attend, her Thesis Director received the award in her name. This distinction is awarded by merit to students who obtained their PhD degree Suma Cum Laude in the years 2011 and 2012 and who fulfilled some other academic requirements. Cecilia has said“ Being able to share the joy of this piece of news, compensates the long hours of solitary work during the past years.” We are very proud of you, Cecilia!
