La Cambra de Comerç de Barcelona Project
MIT-Spain is pleased to announce the launch of "La Cambra de Comerc de Barcelona Project." The objectives of the project are
- to introduce well-trained MIT students to Spanish firms as interns;
- to broaden the exchanges between MIT and Spanish graduate students by seeding collaborative research projects;
- to promote the exchange of knowledge between the MIT community and young professionals working in Spain in Spanish companies through joint workshops and on-campus networking sessions.
Through activities such as conferences, lectures and seminars, and academics, government officials and top business leaders may be brought together around issues critical to business interests.
"Innovation, along with internationalization is the catalyst for future growth..."
— Josep María Cervera, Director of International Area at the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce
MIT students studying Spanish in Spain during IAP had the opportunity to travel to Barcelona to learn about the city's history, culture and role in industry. The visit was sponsored by the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce. There was also a networking session where students mingled with executives from local companies.
