The Rafael del Pino Foundation, as part of its Programme for Attracting Teaching Talent, signed a collaboration agreement with the Pompeu Fabra University of Barcelona to contribute to the return of outstanding Spanish researchers working in centres of excellence abroad. The objective pursued by the Rafael del Pino Foundation with the creation of the Rafael del Pino Chairs is to raise the level of teaching and research in the best Spanish universities.
With the recovery of researchers and their incorporation into Spanish universities, the quality of the training that our university students receive is improved.
At the proposal of the Pompeu Fabra University of Barcelona, Professor Nagore Iriberri held the Rafael del Pino Chair for the period 2009-2012. The Pompeu Fabra University of Barcelona, aware of the importance of improving the level of teaching and research, co-sponsored the Rafael del Pino Foundation's initiative and welcomed Professor Iriberri.
Nagore Iriberri received her PhD in Economics from the University of California-San Diego in 2006. Professor Iriberri analyses the effect of social comparison in the field of education with the aim of deepening the analysis of the effect of relative job performance information on individual performance when incentives are per job performed, as well as the effect of the provision of relative performance information over time and duration.
