The 3rd Abertis International Prize for Transport Infrastructure Management was awarded in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Dr. Aida Calviño Martínez, in the category of doctoral thesis, for her work entitled “Algunas herramientas estadísticas y matemáticas para la modelización del tráfico“. In the category of dissertations and final or master’s theses, the winner was Pierre-Antoine Laharotte, for his work, “Analyse de l’apport des donnees Bluetooth pour la caracterisation du traffic. Traitement du reseau semi urbain of Brisbane“. They were both winners of the national prizes awarded by the Abertis Chair in Spain and France respectively.

Abertis manages Puerto Rico’s Teodoro Moscoso Bridge and, through the Metropistas consortium, the PR-22 and PR-5 toll roads. A road safety campaign will be held on these routes to inform and raise awareness about the importance of responsible driving. In the second phase of the campaign, awareness raising messages will target the youngest members of the population, who are currently pedestrians and future drivers.

The Abertis Foundation is sponsoring the largest retrospective ever on the British artist Richard Hamilton. The exhibit will be housed at Madrid’s Reina Sofía Museum from 27 June to 13 October 2014. Richard Hamilton himself, one of the most influential artists of the 20th Century, designed the show specifically for the museum, directly working with the Spanish institution from early 2010 until prior to his death in 2011.

The winners, along with those from Spain and Puerto Rico, will vie for the 3rd International Prize, to be awarded in Puerto Rico on 9 July

Abertis, through its Brazilian subsidiary, Arteris, is one of the main sponsors of the largest retrospective Dalí exhibition to be taken to Latin America — on this occasion, to the Brazilian cities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.

The exhibition, “Salvador Dalí: A retrospective” offers a unique opportunity to review the artist’s work, since it brings together pieces from the three repositories of Dalí’s legacy: the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation (Figueres, Spain), the Salvador Dalí Museum (St. Petersburg, Florida, USA) and the Reina Sofía Museum (Madrid, Spain), which join forces to offer the public the best of their collections. This collaboration resulted in retrospective exhibitions in the Pompidou Centre, Paris, and the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, in 2012 and 2013, respectively, with record numbers of visitors.
