Barcelona talk: How Digital Tech will Transform Education, Training and Brain Health

by

If you hap­pen to be in Barcelona, Spain, on Sep­tem­ber 14th, make sure to attend Alvaro Fer­nan­dez talk there titled “How and Why Dig­i­tal Tech­nol­o­gy Will Trans­form Edu­ca­tion, Train­ing and Brain Health”.

  • Date: 14/09/2010
  • Time: 19:00
  • Place: ESADEFORUM. Av. Pedralbes 60–62.

Descrip­tion: You have a brain. Make it reflect on this provoca­tive vision of how the con­ver­gence of demo­graph­ic and polit­i­cal trends with the dis­cov­er­ies of neu­ro­science and dig­i­tal tech­nol­o­gy can give rise to a glob­al mar­ket capa­ble of trans­form­ing the way in which we devel­op and main­tain our brains, in order to attain the high­est pos­si­ble lev­el of brain health and per­for­mance through­out our lives. The neu­ro­sci­en­tist Ramón y Cajal once said: “Every man can, if he so desires, become the sculp­tor of his own brain”. This has become a pre­vail­ing desire, pro­mot­ed by baby boomers who, as they approach their 60th birth­day, embark on a search for life­long “brain fitness”.

aa-225x300Last Novem­ber, talk­ing with some Japan­ese col­leagues at the World Eco­nom­ic Forum’s Coun­cil on the Aging Soci­ety, I dis­cov­ered that it is com­mon there to orga­nize research-dri­ven consortia/ learn­ing labs among for-prof­it, non-prof­it and aca­d­e­m­ic orga­ni­za­tions inter­est­ed in the devel­op­ment of “sil­ver indus­tries”, this is, where com­pa­nies devel­op prod­uct and ser­vices spe­cif­ic to the needs of old­er adults.

I just dis­cov­ered ‑hav­ing been invit­ed to speak there, togeth­er with Prof. Shlo­mo Breznitz- that my native Spain counts with a sim­i­lar inno­v­a­tive plat­form. You can see below (in Span­ish) the details of my tak in Barcelona on June 22nd, and here you have how the Fun­da­cion Edad y Vida describes itself:

  • The Edad&Vida Foun­da­tion is a plat­form where all the dif­fer­ent agents involved in con­tribut­ing to the qual­i­ty of life of elder­ly peo­ple con­verge. Edad&Vida is an open space to com­pa­nies from dif­fer­ent eco­nom­ic sec­tors, social agents and aca­d­e­m­ic entities.
