On the one hand, this prize represents the essence of EDCOM's spirit: to combine knowledge and its applicability in communication projects with academic relevance, as well as stimulates the development and promotion of students in an international competitive framework. On the other hand, because it proves the excellence of the academic programs of the IADE / Universidade Europeia, which not only motivates us, but also obliges us to be better and more demanding with ourselves each day, by setting the bar of quality even more high.”
