Xavier Vilasís, professor from La Salle-URL, offers the commencement speech for the second promotion of the Inno+Talent 25

HP Barcelona International Centre successfully accomplished the 2nd Edition of the young talents program Inno+Talent25,  lead by HP Barcelona in collaboration with  La Salle Campus Barcelona - URL and Leitat Technological Center. On this occasion, the physicist and coordinator of the PhD program of La Salle Campus Barcelona - URL, Xavier Vilasís, carried out the commencement speech for this new promotion at a ceremony held on Thursday 27th September. The program Inno+Talent25 welcomes young graduates in engineering and scientific careers with the aim of promoting the development of talent through innovation and dual training. The program prepares students for their incorporation to the labor market with expertise in state of the art technologies and their application in industry, finance and project management. Of the 50 students that graduated in the first two promotions, 24 were hired by HP and the rest found jobs in a short space of time. Academic training is provided by La Salle Campus Barcelona – URL during the two years of the program, within the students working time. The collaboration of this university allows students to validate the knowledge acquired as part of the Master in Project Management of La Salle - URL, a master of recognized prestige which has the international endorsement of the Project Management Institute. Leitat technological center, which is also the promoter of the project from the very start, collaborates in the promotion and the selection of the graduates, manages recruitment and provides an individualized follow up during the entire program. The physicist Xavier Vilasís was chosen to give the commencement speech for this promotion because of his talent and international experience, for his collaboration in the Alba synchrotron and his current participation in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research). In his speech he reminded graduates about the "responsibility that talent entails" and stressed the importance "of the passion for learning; through excellence, challenges, values, and above all, through the team", quoting the proverb "if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together".
