In early 2019, I participated in the Digital Communication Thesis competition organized by the Master’s in Communication and Creativity at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. Winning this award was an incredible honor—a recognition of hard work and dedication.
When I received an email with the subject line “Congratulations, you are the winner!”, I thought it was spam. But it wasn’t—I had won the First Prize in Digital Communication Research from the Master’s in Communication and Creativity at the University of Barcelona!
Beyond being a personal achievement, this award is also a tribute to Gabriela Sued, who mentored and supported me, to Datos for fostering creative spaces, and especially to the University of Buenos Aires, where we produce knowledge for everyone and where public, free, and quality education must continue to thrive.
If you’d like to check it out, my full thesis is available at 100diasdemacri.wordpress.com.
I still struggle to find the right words to express my gratitude. This work didn’t emerge out of nowhere—it is the result of sustained effort within the University of Buenos Aires, particularly in Cátedra de Datos, led by Alejandro Piscitelli, which continuously creates spaces for research, development, and learning. I am deeply grateful for public education, and this award is, in many ways, a win for the educational system that, despite challenges, keeps producing knowledge.
I wrote in more detail in this other post.
