We echo the news published on the website of the University Institute of Tourism and Sustainable Development, according to which our colleague Rosa M. Batista-Canino, a researcher at the University Institute of Tourism and Sustainable Economic Development and a professor in the Faculty of Business Economics and Tourism, in the Department of Economics and Business Management, received recognition in Science and Innovation for her work promoting entrepreneurial talent and studying the entrepreneurial phenomenon in the Canary Islands at the 6th edition of the Más Mujer Awards held at the Leal Theater in La Laguna (Tenerife).

The 6th edition of the Más Mujer Awards – BPW Canarias has established itself as an emblematic event recognizing and celebrating female leadership in the archipelago. This edition recognized female talent in various fields of the arts, business, and culture in the Canary Islands. Professor Rosa Batista has been leading the GEM Canarias team for over 20 years, gathering data on regional entrepreneurial activity. Together with research projects on university entrepreneurship (GUESSS) and the business network of small and medium-sized enterprises (FAEDPYME), she has formed the basis of the Canary Islands Entrepreneurship and SME Observatory. TIDES researchers Alicia Bolívar Cruz, Pino Medina Brito, Silvia Sosa Cabrera, and Domingo Verano Tacoronte also belong to the Observatory.

As highlighted in the published news, in 2023, the professor was recognized by the European Parliament for her promotion of the EntreComp framework for entrepreneurial competencies. This precedent also served as the basis for this critical recognition—our sincere congratulations to Rosa.
