The organization of the acts was carried out by the Board of Trustees of the Foundation with the collaboration of the College of Technical Industrial Engineers of Tarragona. The Provincial Council and the Tarragona City Council also cooperated. The pronounced conferences as well as the awards and scholarships corresponding to the 2004 call were held in the auditorium of the former Hearing.
The papers analyzed several topics. The first of them, pronounced by Gonzalo Casino, journalist and director of the Industrial Technical Magazine, presented the evolution of the magazine that he directed and emphasized the consolidation of this means of communication in society. In the second conference, titled "The engineers in Europe and our future", the president of the General Council of experts and Technical Industrial Engineers, of the Foundation, and Dean of the COITI of Badajoz, Manuel León, presented the great issues that it poses the educational reform of higher education in our country and the adaptation to the European framework. The Doctor of Information Sciences from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Tomás Garcia, was the author of the third conference entitled "The company in today's complex societies" was about the commitment of the business world and society with the clear objective of improving the quality of life.
The fourth conference was articulated by Joaquín Ruiz de Arbulo, Doctor and Professor of Classical Archeology at the University of Lleida. Under the title "Tarragona. Living in a Roman city", the speaker showed an excellent exhibition with images and graphics of the ancient Roman capital of "Hispania Citerior", later also called Tarraconense.
The subject of the fifth conference was the world of communication. The professor of Theory of Communication of the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Miquel Rodrigo, answered the question his parliament called: "How to achieve effective intercultural communication?", Especially among those who share the same cultural references.
