We count for this edition with the same director and deputy directors as in the previous two editions: Miguel Ángel Quintana Paz, Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo and Arcadi Espada.
The course tries to further the debate on how we can profit nowadays the same values that made the Spanish Transition to democracy possible.
