Santaló Lecturer
The Faculty of Mathematical Sciences, in collaboration with Revista Matemática Complutense, created in 2002 the figure of Santaló Lecturer. Such a position is occupied each year by an invited professor (proposed by the Editorial Board of RMC and ratified by the Faculty Council) asked to send an article to the Journal and give a colloquium lecture about it (besides other more specific seminars he/she could give).
