Development of innovative tools for understanding marine biodiversity and assessing good environmental status: the EU project DEVOTES
AZTI-Tecnalia organized the XVII edition of SIEBM – Iberian Symposium on Marine Biology Studies, in Donostia – San Sebastián, from 11th to 14th September 2012.
The objectives of the Symposia are to show the recent advances in marine biology research, within the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal, Spain and the Maccaronesian islands) and also South American countries. The research topics covered by the Symposium, divided in scientific sessions, include aquaculture and parasitism; benthic ecology; ecological assessment, environmental impacts and pollution monitoring; genetics and taxonomy; global change; management of living resources; modelling and habitat suitability; pelagic ecology; restoration, conservation and planning; and, finally, a miscellaneous section.
A special session on marine environment assessment has been organized, related to the European Water Framework Directive and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive.
This article is the contribution given to the Symposium by the DEVOTES Coordinator, Àngel Borja
Analysis of international tourism in Seville
The following project consists in the analysis and delineation of a general international touristic profile of visitors to the city of Seville, in order to draw relevant, meaningful conclusions on this particular issue. To get to that point, a section essentially introductory in nature will be laid out in the first place, thus providing the necessary ground floor to grasp the fundamental aspects of the origin, development and operation of tourism in Spain, with an additional, specific focus on Seville. In turn, once the touristic profile for Seville as a thriving destination is delimited and defined, a series of measures and initiatives will be put forward which might contribute to further promotion of tourism in Seville, as well as increase international tourists’ overall level of satisfaction.Universidad de Sevilla.

The four powers of design: A value model in design management
This analysis proposes a framework to bridge the gap between the world of designers and the world of managers. Illuminating her thesis with examples from Steelcase, Decathlon, and other companies, Brigitte Borja de Mozota parallels design's ability to differentiate, integrate, transform, and contribute to the enterprise and bottom-line results with a corporate focus on markets, processes, talent, and finances

Design and competitive edge: A model for design management excellence in European SME's
This article suggests to use the conceptual model of Michael Porter Value Chain in order to integrate all the variables that explain the mechanism of value creation through design.
The results of the study of 33 European SMES participating in the European Design Prize explain the role of design in the management of innovation, identify the variables that characterize design management and classify them according to the value chain concept.
The main result of this research was the typology of design management strategy.
Three clusters emerged through the analysis and the managerial value of design was demonstrated

A theoretical model for design in Management science : the paradigm shift in the design profession for management as a constraint to management science as an opportunity
Design Management has changed greatly since 1990 Peter Gorb definition .The purpose of this paper is to synthetize the various models of Design Management and to explain their limits in front of the paradigm shift of the design profession, changing “from an activity based profession to a knowledge based profession” professor Yjro Sotamaa- UIAH
The territory of design in Management science will be developed in detail with the limits of these diverging forces. The converging model of Design value management based not on practices but on management science models will be explained with its proactive force. Finally ,this value model will be applied enhancing its pertinence in the emerging “design leadership” trend and consequently the potential for a “design thinking “ input in front of the new challenges of contemporary managers : sense building, complexity , innovation , Socially Responsible Organizations
