The RNE program “It’s not an ordinary day” directed by journalist Pepa Fernández has broadcast its weekend program from Valencia on the occasion of the proclamation of the seven winners of the 2024 Rei Jaume I Prizes.

At the Bancaja Foundation facilities, radio professionals broadcast the six-hour program on both Saturday and Sunday with their respective collaborators who traveled to our city to pay tribute to this year’s winners who have just been proclaimed .

Between the interviews on both days, there was the presence of this year’s Economics Prize winner, Francisco Pérez, who stated, among other things in his interview, that “when circumstances change, one must change one’s point of view. That does not mean that an effort should not be made to properly substantiate what is said and done. Pérez recognized himself as “a well-trained political arithmetician.”

Another of those interviewed by the famous journalist was José Capmany, 2012 King Jaume I Prize for New Technologies. The telecommunications engineer and Physicist stated that “we always want to know what happens inside the black boxes. It’s what guides engineers.” Capmany is a specialist in photonics and optical communications.
