The 21st edition of the Segarra research awards ceremony took place on Thursday 23 May, at the Municipal Auditorium of Cervera, organized by the Educational Service, with the help·collaboration of the three institutes of the region and the sponsorships of the Regional Council of Segarra, the Town Council of Cervera, the Town Council of Guissona and BonÀrea – Caixa Guissona.

As usual, and as stated in bases of the awards, two categories are established, the science and technology modality and that of social sciences and humanities. In the presentation of the works, great care is taken to preserve anonymity and authorship.

The members of the presidential table who handed out the recognition diplomas and prizes were: Carolina Garcia, Councilor for Education of the Paeria de Cervera; Ramon Augé, president of the Regional Council of Segarra; Jaume Ars, mayor of Guissona City Council; Monica Torné, head of training for the bonÀarea group; and Marina Dalmases, president of the TdR Awards Jury 2024.

The event was conducted by Noèlia Solé, secondary school teacher, actress and rhapsode, that put a touch of sympathy, relaxing the tensions of the protagonist students with the emotions on the surface.

In this way, helped a lot too, the brilliant performance of the pianist student of the Cervera Music Conservatory, Anastasia Mostishko, who enlivened the event with two musical pieces: Tribute to Francesc Alió by Josep Lluís Guzmán, i Sonata n. 24, op. 78 -Beethoven's Adagio cantabile-Allegro ma non tanto.

The jury noted the quality of all the works presented, for this reason they have all received well-deserved recognition. There is no empty prize left, granting 4 prizes for each modality: two accesses, two third prizes, two second prizes and two first prizes.
