Rocío Nogales Muriel

Many great people and ideas already exist. A simple spark of creative connectivity is needed to make things happen. That is the space where I thrive.

Having always had an interest in communication, I pursued my studies on advertising and public relations but the road was a winding an exciting one. Sevilla, Paris, Meadville, Pittsburgh, Liege and Madrid are the names of the cities that I have called home since my first university degree.

Leading the main research network on social enterprise and social entrepreneurship in Europe has opened my eyes to the potential of the social sciences to advance society and the need for European of all walks of life to join up.

In parallel, launching eyephoneography has offered me a peak into the transformation power of the arts, both for the artists, their audiences and society at large.

For several years now, collaborating with several US universities in the framework of MADRID_CREAcción have allowed me to provide a truly human and creative view of the city that I have called home for the past four years.
