This year's conference focused on the 'Mining and Metallurgy in the Mediterranean and oceanic periphery' and has had the participation of 140 enrolled, who did not want to miss the interesting papers that have been developed within this appointment to be strengthening year after year.
This was announced during the opening of the congress that was given by the Mayor of Mazarrón, Ginés Campillo, the Vice Chancellor for Strategic Development and Training, University of Murcia (UMU), Fernando Martin, the director of the People's University of Mazarrón ( UPM), José María López, and Professor Sebastian UMU Ramallo, who has coordinated the event.
The latter was the one who said that "this year we have reached the 140 participants, coupled with more than hundred people attended each of the first editions, give a result close to 400 participants. Thing that makes us proud" said Sebastian Ramallo.
But beyond its quantum leap, 'Phicaria' has also undergone a qualitative leap "by the presence of prominent speakers who come to this issue with the support of the International University of the Sea (UNIMAR), and we are deeply grateful," José M ª López said.
The speakers highlighted the presence Salvador Rovira Llorens, curator of the National Archaeological Museum; Martina Renzi, a researcher at the University College of London UCL Qatar, F. Javier Sánchez-Palencia of the Higher Council for Scientific Research, Institut Norbert Hanel of Archälogisches University of Cologne (Germany) and the researcher Marcus Heinrich Deutsches Institut Archälogisches as well as others who came from the UMU, Complutense of Madrid and the universities of Seville, Granada and Castile-La Mancha.
The vice president Fernando Martin reiterated "the importance of generating and entrenched alliances between various agencies, such as the University of Murcia and Mazarrón Town Council to come, not only as actively collaborating in these days of the VHS, but also as in many other in the conference 'Women of Good Arts' we have opened this morning UNIMAR or courses that we have designed and we will present next Thursday. "
Hence the vicerrectorado "is titled Strategic Development and scroll attached to the training," said Martin.
The Mayor of Mazarrón, Ginés Campillo, was "particularly pleased because 'Phicaria' which is strengthened year after year and is poised to become one of the most important events for researchers and scholar issues, remember, have a direct relationship with our town This feature should be maintained and enhanced as this quote not only serves to create a space for reflection and research, but also to value the rich heritage of the municipality,. revealing everything Mazarrón has to show to the world ".
