Jesús Gonzalo, Professor of Economics at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid and 2025 Research Award winner from the Community of Madrid, was the keynote speaker at University Day 2026.

Professor Jan Stuhler has been awarded a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant for his project “Mobility, Sorting and Inequality with Extended Kinship Data (EXKIN).” The project will develop a new conceptual and empirical framework to better understand how socioeconomic status is transmitted across generations.
Stuhler will first create a unified theoretical model that links the main measures of intergenerational mobility. He will then apply this framework to large-scale kinship networks using administrative register data and other population-wide sources.
The project is expected to deliver the first consistent framework spanning a wide range of mobility measures and to offer fresh insights into long-term inequality dynamics. Its findings may support more effective social policies by improving our understanding of how family background shapes individual outcomes.
