On Wednesday, February 26, 2025, the leadership of the SRAP Board of Directors (president, vice presidents, and honorary president) met in Sydney with the Ambassador of Spain in Australia, Esther Monterrubio Villar.
The objective of the meeting was to provide the ambassador (who took office only a few months ago) with a comprehensive overview of the activities and projects carried out by our association, while also planning key events for 2025, particularly the Australia-Spain Research Forum 2025 and the new edition of the Malaspina Awards, as well as initiating new projects.
