Testimonies
“During my 15 years of experience in IHCantabria, I have had the privilege of managing European Projects that have been key in the development of innovative solutions in the field of coastal engineering, environmental sustainability and water management. IHCantabria has always been open to explore new funding formulas, which has allowed the consolidation of a group of experts in attracting and managing European Funds. We are grateful for the promotion and enhancement of this project area. On a personal level, it is not just a job, it is much more: it means support and understanding in difficult moments, recognition in moments of celebration and finally, unity in the face of adversity. For this and much more, thank you IHCantabria.”
