The speakers are guests from the business world, academia or public administration and the topics are very varied: professional skills, emerging sectors, Economics and geopolitics, etc. They do not involve a lot of time and are very interesting. Going on Erasmus is not a problem either because the sessions are spread over both semesters. There are usually 4 sessions per year (2 each semester).
A three-day trip to Madrid to visit companies is also organized in the month of January (during the extraordinary exams). The trip from January 15-17, 2020 visited the Deloitte Robotics Center of Excellence, the Deloitte Cybersecurity Center, the Cotec Foundation, the Amazon Logistics Center, the Postgraduate Headquarters of the University of Navarra in Madrid and the Simulation Center of Grupo Antolin in Burgos. The attendance to the trip is not mandatory to obtain the diploma of the Fostering Talent program. This year 2021 a trip to Madrid will be organized if circumstances permit (especially the limitation of company visits due to the pandemic).
