The Canary Islands academy in Lanzarote is also holding, between June and October of this year, an exhibition entitled Memorias de Agua (“Memories of Water”), dedicated to numerary academician Manuel Díaz Rijo and sponsored by the local government of Lanzarote.
The Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Humanities of Lanzarote maintains an intense programme of activity, both on the island and in various cities on the Spanish mainland. The incorporation of José Ramón Calvo in 2016 as a numerary academician, and now as head of the RAED’s Institute of Interdisciplinary Research, has resulted in smooth cooperation between the two organisations.
The academy’s mission is to promote and disseminate the sciences on Lanzarote and throughout the Canary Islands as a whole. It holds an annual three-day event designed to encourage wider recognition of the work of three illustrious sons of the island: Blas Cabrera, César Manrique and José Molina.
