PhD Fellow Wins prestigious South American Award


Omar Rodriguez Torres has won the Jorge Bernal award, granting 8,000 euros to support his research into the impact of entrepreneurship policies on the poor. Jorge Bernal, 1952-2010, was a Colombian activist and scholar whose life and work were dedicated to the defence of democracy and social justice. The award was established to support young researchers whose work focuses on social exclusion, poverty, inequality or inequity between the various social strata of the Colombian population. We ask Omar what the award means to him and to his work.
