20th Anniversary of CENIEH

Various activities throughout the year 2024 celebrate two decades of this pioneering center in the study of human evolution, which already has more than 3,000 scientific publications.

On March 27, 2004, the "birth certificate" of CENIEH was published in the BOE (Official State Gazette), a leading center in the study of our origins, which these days celebrates 20 years of scientific production, with more than 3,000 articles, which have placed Spain at the forefront of research in human evolution.

On the occasion of this anniversary, an event was held at CENIEH this Saturday, July 6, at 19:30, with the presence of Eva Ortega Paíno, Secretary General for Research of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, and Jesús Manuel Hurtado Olea, Secretary General for Education of the Junta de Castilla y León.

This event included the conference: "The scientific language in the Royal Spanish Academy", given by the first director of CENIEH José Mª Bermúdez de Castro, ad Honorem researcher of this Center and member of the RAE (Royal Spanish Academy).

In this conference, which has counted with Sign Language Interpretation (ILSE) thanks to the collaboration of the Association of Families of Deaf People of Burgos (ARANSBUR), Bermúdez de Castro explained how some terms of the immense flow generated by scientific disciplines are filtered into society and may end up forming part of the common lexicon of speakers and the Dictionary of the Spanish language.

This event and all those to be held throughout 2024 have the collaboration of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology - Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.
