With more than a hundred articles published in specialized scientific journals, Professor Pampillón combines his intensive research activity with that of knowledge dissemination. Voted best professor at IE in 2001 and 2008, throughout his twenty five years in the world of education he has dedicated his efforts to country analysis and economic environment. His deep knowledge of these fields in Latin America and Asia has resulted in his being appointed a member of the board of a consultation committee set up by the Spanish government for the privatization of public companies (he represented Spain at the Ibero American Privatization Summit in 1997) and, for four years, he formed part of the board of the Spanish government’s Committee for International Cooperation for Development, in his capacity as an expert.
