Last but not least, the I3A maintains a strong commitment to the dissemination of scientific knowledge to society, which includes the dissemination of results of research projects, the promotion of scientific culture in Castilian-La Mancha society, the promotion of scientific and professional vocations in computer science among its citizens, and the recognition of the work done by researchers.
