XIII SYMPOSIUM PROGRAMME

Programme

23 - 25 July 2015 University College London

UCL Main Quad

Welcome!!

The Symposium of Mexican Students and Studies is the largest academic event in the UK for Mexican students and academics interested in Mexico. In the ‘Year of Mexico in the UK’, the event 'Connec'ng ideas, building the future’ comes from the concepAon of an open and plural space, with mulA-‐disciplinary knowledge as a driver of change for a beFer future in Mexico. By covering the majority of the fields of study for Mexican students in the UK, the Symposium is meant to encourage the exchange of ideas and debate in the fields of science, technology, engineering, social sciences, health, arts and humaniAes. Of course, the opportuniAes for networking in a friendly environment are equally essenAal. We have done our very best effort to bring together renowned academics and social acAviAes, but above all, we believe that each and everyone of you, the student community in the UK, will ul7mately be the ones who will make of the XIII Symposium of Mexican Students and Studies an incredible experience.

Thank you for your aFendance!!

GeAng to UCL By London Underground (Tube) The closest tube staAons to UCL’s Gower Street site are Euston Square (Hammersmith and City, Metropolitan and Circle lines), Warren Street (Northern and Victoria lines), Euston (Northern and Victoria lines) and Russell Square (Piccadilly line). By Bus UCL’s Gower Street site is served by many Transport for London bus routes. Buses travelling from north to south stop in Gower Street, immediately outside UCL’s main gate, while those travelling from south to north stop outside Warren Street staAon, about five minutes’ walk from UCL. Services to these stops include route numbers: 10, 14, 24, 29, 73, 134, 390. By Na7onal Rail London has many mainline rail staAons. Most of these are a short journey away from UCL, with the staAons at Euston, King’s Cross and St Pancras being within easy walking distance. By Eurostar St Pancras staAon is the London Eurostar terminal. More informaAon can be found at www.eurostar.com

‘Everything from nothing, our Cosmic History’

hFp://www.m

pa-‐garching.mpg.de

Cosmology confronts some of the most fundamental quesAons in the whole of science. How and when did our universe begin? What is it made of? How did galaxies and other structures form? Large supercomputer simulaAons recreate the evoluAon of the universe and provide the means to relate processes occurring near the beginning with observaAons of the universe today. A coherent picture of cosmic evoluAon, going back to a Any fracAon of a second aqer the Big Bang, is beginning to emerge. However, fundamental issues, like the idenAty of the dark maFer and the nature of the dark energy, remain unresolved.

‘The road of our scientist in the UK: How can Mexico benefit from the

Mexican scientists abroad?’

This panel will address the skilled migraAon of Mexicans in the UK. In recent years, the paradigm of "loss" of human capital has changed towards the "circulaAon" of brains worldwide. Nowadays, informaAon and communicaAon technologies, global policies and scienAfic networks offer new possibiliAes for distant collaboraAon. Four Mexican scienAsts from different fields will share their paths, academic experAse and some ideas for establishing links with Mexico from the UK.

Neurobiology of Violence: Can violence be prevented ? Violent behaviours are alarmingly common in our society and are considered a public health problem. They range from domesAc violence to street crimes. Some of the quesAons that neuroscience tries to answer is how an adapAve behavior, like aggression, can turn into violent behavior. For more than 30 years, I have studied the brain and in the past years I have studied more than 370 violent criminal offenders in Mexican prisons to understand how violence works. Based on the results of my studies one of my quesAon has been what goes wrong and how can we raise children with moral integrity? I will present an early intervenAon program that is currently applied in extreme poverty areas all over Mexico.

The study of the cosmos as a whole not only humbles one as a human but let you realize that only integraAon and community can help us develop beFer socieAes. A beFer Mexico. The main contribuAon I can effecAvely implement towards the expansion and acknowledge of Mexican science is to develop strong research projects that will link Mexico and the InternaAonal community.

The research will provide an understanding about the actual condiAons of the rural creaAve industries and the impact of mimic cultural strategies in the preservaAon of our heritage. Understanding the way that these enterprises are consAtuted, focus in micro factors such as: the inter relaAons between cultural producAon, creaAve working condiAons and social life. And pay parAcular aFenAon about the internaAonal and naAonal discourses and pracAces that cultural policy has in rural creaAve industries in Mexico

Firstly, Mexico can draw lessons from the biofuel industry experience of the US and Brazil that so far have accelerated the increase in food prices in order to meet biofuel producAon quotas. Secondly, Mexico would be able to establish comprehensive biofuel laws that will abate the main policy issues that have caused escalaAng food commodity prices and land reconversion causing unnecessary deforestaAon and eliminaAng other important food producAon.

In Mexico, unfortunately there is a lack of value for our Fashion brands and fashion designers. In many occasions the costumers tend to negoAate the price for a good Mexican clothe made by hand affecAng the designers’ profits and our economy. As a result, I decided to study MA Fashion MarkeAng in the UK and focus my research and studies in Fashion sustainable and digital strategies for creaAng value to Mexican fashion brands and designers. These strategies can serve, boost and support businessmen and new young designers. AddiAonally, they could encourage the employment rates of Mexico.

Recent statistics show that Mexico has become a hackers’ playground. Cases such as Banorte and Liverpool clients’ personal information theft are indicators that information security professionals need to take a more proactive and defensive approach towards cyber security. Through my experience and research, I would like to undertake a step to improve policies that help regulate how this issues are approached towards a more effective risk management perspective while understanding criminal behaviour to be able to provide countermeasures, awareness, and incident response in order to build more resilient industry and critical infrastructures standards that can lead to improvement of national security.

I could improve the way how enAAes (public or private sector) are releasing informaAon. For instance, think the possibility to link and extract data from INEGI , IMSS , SEDESOL and other governmental enAAes in order to create queries that return data that could be useful for public policy, research or entrepreneurial purposes. This is referred as a Big Data for social sciences.
