The President of the Real Academia de Ciencias Económicas y Financieras (Racef), His Excellency Dr. Jaime Gil Aluja, today in Podgorica (Montenegrro) called for a model of research that is committed to society and led by universities and academic institutions, during a meeting of European Academies organised by the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts.

Gil Aluja read his speech, “A change in values and a change in the perspectives for research in the XXIst century”, in which he highlighted the need for specialists in the most diverse subjects to participate actively in social life and make the way easier with their knowledge for the progress of their societies. For the President of the Racef the global financial crisis has brought about a scenario of disorientation, which experts must assist in redirecting, explaining the reasons and seeking new mechanisms for forecasting and control.
