Speakers:
Dr. Miquel Angel Pujana leads the “Resistance, Susceptibility and Tumor Progression” research group of the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO), IDIBELL (L’Hospitalet del Llobregat). The group generates and integrates experimental and bioinformatic data towards a better understanding on how cancer develops, progresses and responds to therapies. The team’s work is mainly focused on breast cancer, although novel approaches have been applied to different settings. In 2015, Dr. Pujana was designated Director of a new ICO research program focused on “therapeutic resistance”; ProCURE. This program includes 10 independent research groups across three institutes and whose activity is centered on “fighting” cancer therapeutic resistance. Dr. Pujana is author of >100 peer-review publications, including studies of new cancer susceptibility genes, genetic interactions influencing risk, molecular mechanisms of resistance, and integrative-network analysis of biological and/or medical data. Dr. Pujana is also member of the Consortium of the Investigators of Modifiers of BRCA1/2 (CIMBA) and in this context leads studies on the genetic basis of breast cancer risk.

Richard Stallman hablará sobre las metas y la filosofía del movimiento del Software Libre, y el estado y la historia del sistema operativo GNU, el cual junto con el núcleo Linux, es actualmente utilizado por decenas de millones de personas en todo el mundo.
Speakers:
Richard Matthew Stallman, es un programador estadounidense, figura relevante del movimiento por el software libre en el mundo y presidente de la Fundación del Software Libre (FSF).
Entre sus logros notables como programador incluyen la participación en el editor de texto GNU Emacs, el compilador GCC, y el depurador GDB, bajo la rúbrica del Proyecto GNU. Sin embargo, es principalmente conocido por el establecimiento de un marco de referencia moral, político y legal para el movimiento del software libre, como una alternativa al desarrollo y distribución del software no libre o privativo. Es también inventor del concepto de Copyleft (aunque no del término), un método para licenciar software de tal forma que su uso y modificación permanezcan siempre libres y queden en la comunidad.
