María Teresa Cáceres Lorenzo, Professor at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and member of the IATEXT has published recently in The Conversation: "The place names are neither good nor bad, but cultural richness" together with Marcos Salas Pascual Researcher associated with the Institute of Environmental Studies and Natural Resources, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

Historically, place names have served to designate geographical points but we all know that "they define something more than the proper names of a place, they glimpse a history, useful information for many sciences (botany, demography, ethnography , geography, philology, etc.), but above all they are part of the life and culture of the people of each environment, and therefore they are generators of feelings and expression of a cultural link."

The Professor and member of IATEXT, Trinidad Arcos Pereira has participated in the program "Canarias es Cultura" on Radio Televisión Canaria.

The program that took place on Sunday, May 5, 2023 was focused on aboriginal archeology in the Canary Islands. Arcos Pereira spoke about  the first mentions of the Canary Islands in history books, a line of research in which has specialized and therefore has numerous publications.
