Leonardo Torres Quevedo: el patrimonio histórico, científico, tecnológico y educativo … y las funciones de la universidad

Abstract

Taking as motivation the commemoration of the centenary of the Niagara Spanish Aerocar, along 2016 the association of Friends of Scientific Culture has promoted a solid programme of activities which have given content to “The Year Torres Quevedo 2016”. This has been a remarkable experience for our heritage, in all its historical, scientific, technological and educational fields, along which the four functions of university at the service of Society, as determined by law, have been accomplished, as not only citizens and the educational community have benefited from a great number of Lectures, Exhibitions, Articles, TV and Radio programs, etc., but the seeds have been sown for schools, colleges and University faculties and departments to continue studying and disseminating the life and work of “the most prodigious inventor of his time”.
