Since 2010, the players and coaches of the professional sport sections of the club have contributed 0.5 per cent of their income to financing and boosting initiatives in Catalonia, Spain, and in other places where help is needed. (...) Our objective is not just to win trophies but also to influence and actively participate in structural changes, and to help young people prepare themselves for what really matters in life. (...) Foundation projects use sport as a social-intervention tool. Our objective is not to teach how to win. Life is a challenge in itself and some of those challenges help us grow.

We can therefore say that 21st Century networks, will only be deployed if market players have the right incentives. My third message comes now: legal certainty and a pro-investment environment are key to attract the necessary resources of private companies to deploy the networks. (...) This model use efficient, objective, transparent, tecnologically neutral and non-discriminatry mechanisms. (...) This is key element to allow market players to select the most efficient technology for each customer.

  Towards the 2020 Rev

The project has 4 overarching objectives: o The first project objective is research: we seek to fill an important research gap on how the Middle East Weapons of Mass Destruction Free Zone (ME WMDFZ) issue has evolved. • The Zone existed as early as the late-1950s as an idea and since 1974 in multilateral fora. • While we will study the history of the Zone in its entirety, we will mainly focus on the period from 1990 to the present, with special emphasis on Zone-relevant historical episodes that are under-documented, like the informal consultations from 2010 to 2015. (...) One of the conclusions, we identified is that the importance of a supportive international environment as well as cooperation between Russia and the US as necessary (but insufficient) factors to gain regional momentum on the Zone. • Key regional players must have a shared interest, not just on the ultimate goal, but also on how to get there. • Participation of key states is essential. A serious discussion cannot be conducted about a ME WMDFZ without key players. • We also identified that there are divergent views in the region for the causes of WMD proliferation (rivalry, and mistrust or power imbalance), and as a result, what will be the best policies to address these. • There is also divergent in views whether to pursue the ME WMDFZ comprehensively or through gradual measures as the more promising route for a successful outcome. • There are many Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) which could help to address the mistrust among the key stakeholders and their regional security concerns.

. • Strengthening the regulation of infrastructure sharing and the search for dynamic mechanisms and spectrum sharing, as well as flexibility and agility in formalities and authorizations associated with new infrastructure projects in which the different market player types can participate as partners. • Implementing practices such as “regulatory sandboxes” as a means of promoting innovation in digital infrastructure investment. (...) Similarly, collaborative national and international regulation, a multistakeholder approach comprising as many players in the technological ecosystem as possible, is important as it will allow for a global vision and coverage and should, therefore, be pursued at all stages of the regulatory process, i.e. all the way from design to implementation. (...) In the light of all of the above, IFT developed its Roadmap 2021-2025,1 in which one of the objectives is identified as “promoting the development of the digital ecosystem and adopting new technologies and digital use cases” with a view to meeting the demands of the current environment.
