The Twitter debate will take place this Friday, 17th April, at 10.00 local time, with an estimated duration of 60 minutes

The Rector of the University of La Laguna (ULL), Eduardo Doménech, the Rector of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), José Regidor, the Director of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), Rafael Rebolo, the Director of the Canary Ocean Platform (PLOCAN), Octavio Llinás, and the Director of the Canary Agency for Research, Innovation and the Information Society (ACIISI) Juan Ruiz Alzola, will participate in this pioneering experiment to take the pulse of scientific research, technological development, and innovation, and to promote its importance, sharing impressions and debating with researchers, innovators, journalists, and the general public

Anyone who may be interested can take part in this chat, this Friday, 17th April, at 10.00 local time, including in their questions the label #CanariasIDi.

The debate is planned to last for around one hour, although a few minutes before the starting time there will be an announcement that the leading participants are ready to begin, and questions will be accepted. In order to answer as many questions as possible in the time allotted, the moderating team will select those that are most relevant, or for similar questions they will be selected in order of reception.

People wishing to participate need only send a tweet with the hashtag #CanariasIDi and the question which they wish to propose. It will be answered by those participants who can provide the relevant information. In addition if an answer suggests a further contribution, it will be possible to reply to the participant who has given the answer, but not forgetting to include the hashtag #CanariasIDi. The pa.rticipant may give one last answer to this second tweet, and this will mark the end of that particular consultation.

Those interested in following the debate may do so by making a search on Twitter for the hashtag #Canarias Idi. In order to encourage wide participation we would be grateful if one person wishes to raise several questions that he or she spaces out the questions, and does not send them consecutively.
