The Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) will host next week the third day on transparency, organized jointly with the Council of Transparency of the Region of Murcia and the Circle of Economy and in which will participate experts in public ethics and technologies at the service of transparency.
"Without contrasted data there is no real accountability", said today, during the presentation of the day, the president of the Council of Transparency, José Molina Molina, warning of the risks of "the post-truth and the cooked data" and asking "Open and permanent information, not drip".
The day, which according to the rector, Alejandro Díaz Morcillo, will have a double "ethical and technological" component, will be inaugurated on Friday, the 26th at 9 o'clock in the room of degrees of the Industrial School and will have as lecturer the professor of Philosophy and honorary doctor by the UPCT Adela Cortina.
The sub-director of Transparency and Good Governance of the central executive and the commissioners for this topic of the Canary Islands and Catalonia will participate in the meeting, as well as the special advisor of the European Commission.
The previous afternoon, on Thursday 25, there will be a practical workshop on opening and reusing data, taught by the founder of desideDatum Data Company.
"There is a need for independent laboratories and institutions that contrast the information and go through the filter of truthful alarmist statements, curbing unlimited craving for power," Molina Molina assured, stating that "the UPCT is committed to developing the right to know."
