The library’s (special) value: facts vs falsehoods

11/02/2026 Celia Álvaro , Patricio Cerro

Did you know that what is often considered the very first piece of fake news claimed there were people living on the Moon? Misinformation is nothing new and although we may no longer fall for stories like this one from 1835, we are still surrounded by false claims dressed up to sound convincing. So how do we cut through them? Welcome to the Library, a place where every resource is chosen with care and packaged with a sprinkle of critical thinking. Just what we need to get our bearings.

What’s the cost of not being sustainable?

01/04/2025

Soledad Núñez

Imagine that, instead of living 50 more years, you were to live 200 more. Or even 500. Do you think you would use your resources as you do now, or would you rather keep a little more for tomorrow? That is what living sustainably is about: concerning ourselves not only with our own needs today but also with the needs of future generations. If you believe it would be very costly to create a sustainable world, you have no idea how expensive it would be to carry on with our unsustainable one.

Expats, talent without borders

Susana Parraga Rodríguez , Elvira Prades Illanes , Irune Solera Lopez

There are some decisions that need a lot of thought, while others are made almost instinctively. What do you think it would be like to decide to move abroad to work? There are many unknowns but – at least for some people – few doubts. Fasten your seatbelts, we’re off. Our destination is on the map, but what we may find there is still a mystery.
