The Academic Innovation Advisory Committee of the EDUCA EDTECH Foundation recently met again in a working session which, this time, had a novelty: the incorporation of Enrique Cortés de Abajo as a new member of the Committee .
A space to look further
The Committee is one of the strategic pillars of the Foundation. A group of people with decades of criteria, mistakes and successes, from different sectors, who do not meet to validate but to ask better questions.
A group formed by Isidoro González Gallego, Florencio Vicente Castro, Miguel A. Martí Escolano, Aitor Curiel, Viridiana López, Rafael García-Parrado and David Santos, profiles that come from very different places and that, precisely for that reason, make us better. Meeting after meeting, their criteria and experience are what push the Foundation to make decisions with more sense and purpose.
Welcome, Enrique
In this last meeting, the Committee was enlarged with a new and much needed perspective: Enrique Cortés de Abajo, Co-founder of SKR, School of Government and Public Transformation, and Senior Strategic Advisor of Lottus Education Group.
Enrique has decades of experience in governance, institutional transformation and education. Someone who knows firsthand what it means to build from scratch, make tough decisions and think long-term.
His arrival is not just an addition to the Committee. It is a sign of where the EDUCA EDTECH Foundation wants to continue growing: surrounding itself with diverse experience, with different views, with people who do not come to give easy answers but to help build the right questions.
What we are building
During the meeting, the Committee made progress in new lines of research oriented towards the future of education and its social impact, as well as in the development of upcoming strategic content, including the Whitepaper 2026. A work that seeks not only to analyze what is happening, but also to anticipate where learning should evolve in the coming years.
Among the reflections that marked the day, Aitor Curiel put on the table an issue that the Foundation cannot ignore: the role of ethics in the advancement of artificial intelligence applied to education. In his speech, he stressed that not all AI tools are valid for any context or for any user, and that responsibility in their use must be a central part of any educational proposal. A call for the EDUCA EDTECH Foundation to continue its active role in the promotion of responsible, ethical and people-oriented AI.
Meetings like this are what shape the direction of the Foundation. Because real impact is not improvised. It is built with time, with listening, with criteria and with the right people around the table.
We continue to build.
