Nuria E. Campillo Madrid, Spain (1969) Research, dissemination and transfer in the area of biological medicinal chemistry Nuria Campillo is currently a Senior Scientist at the CIB Margarita Salas (CSIC), where he investigates in the area of medical-biological chemistry, focusing on drug development with application in the field of neurodegenerative diseases and neglected infectious diseases. This last year she is as a visiting researcher at the ICMAT-CSIC. She is author of more than 90 scientific publications and patents. She is author of outreach publications and books.

President and co-founder Association Ciencia con 3 enCantos. Secretary and co-founder of AADIIT. She is cofounder a technology-based spin-off (AItenea Biotch). AItenea wants to help to industrial sector using the tools offered by Artificial Intelligence.

Candela Sancho Soria, Spain (1982) Degree in Physics, Master in Geophysics and Renewable Energies After 18 years between Madrid, Barcelona, Toronto and Amsterdam, Candela returned to Soria to create, from the low-populated Spain (España vacía), a technology-based startup with global projection: Detektia.

The aim of Detektia is to apply DInSAR technique to problems of the civil engineering sector, Detektia aims to revolutionize the control and maintenance of large engineering works, helping to create safer, more efficient and durable infrastructures.

Despite having only a year of life, Detektia has managed to gain an important place in the market and accumulates several awards and prizes.

Candela has a long experience working in applied research on the analysis of subsidence on the earth's surface, both on a large scale, analysing the deformations of the Eurasian tectonic plate, and on a local level analysing point subsidence, such as those produced by civil engineering works.

Marta Miguel Madrid, Spain (1977) Research into new, healthier, safer and more nutritious foods for all PhD studies (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) with European Doctor recognition. She works as a full researcher at the Institute of Food Science Research from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) where she leads the research group “Bioactive Gastronomy”.

Her research is focused in the design and production of novel functional foods and ingredients that can improve our health and well-being, with the necessary scientific support in terms of mechanism of action and biological base. She also works analysing the sensorial characteristics and potential culinary features and properties of these novel foods.

She has collaborated with various research centers from France, UK and Brazil.

She is the Co-founder of the Spin-Off iLike Food Innovation S.L., a disruptive company from the agrofood sector whose goal is to develop ideas and solutions to the global challenges posed by the food industry sector.

She has received different prizes and acknowledgements and is an active science disseminator as an expert in the agrofood field for different magazines, radio and TV programmes.

Carolina Gago Madrid, Spain (1986) She is known for her relevant activity in the optical industry, more specifically in the innovations applied to technological solutions in lens production Awarded with an extraordinary prize in her University studies (Degree in Optics and Optometry at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid) and Postgraduate Course in Optics, Optometry and Vision.

She has studied in depth the behaviour of progressive lenses in order to discover fundamental relations between lens design and eyewear customer satisfaction.

She has participated in different research projects related to the development of new technologies and lens production.

With her team, in 2019 she successfully commercialises the first lens recommendation system based on machine learning (Artificial Intelligence).

At present she is the General Manager of the company IOT, international leader in disruptive technologies applied to ophthalmic lenses, known by its successful software of progressive free-form lens design used by a wide number of laboratories world-wide.
