Dr Calzada's Fulbright Scholar-In-Residence reception took place on 10th October 2022 at California State University, Bakersfield. This event contributed to launch the Institute for Basque Studies (IBS) through a renewed academic programme based on trans-disciplinarity, entrepreneurship, and digitalisation by connecting the Basque Country, Wales, and California. The Fulbright reception event presentation focused on opportunities both at the city-regional level for Central Valley as well as from e-diaspora perspective in relation to Boise and Reno's Basque Studies programme. It is up to the IBS now to implement core foundations stemming from Fulbright S-I-R's programme led by Dr Calzada as PI. An efficient coordination within the CSUB and strategic stakeholders under the supervision of the PI in Bakersfield and Kern County will be required to make this Fulbright S-I-R's foundational statement feasible and doable, which should actively endure over time. The 5th December 2022, alongside the IBS-Etxepare agreement signature, a workshop will be held by the IBS to wrap up and put into practice Fulbright SIR-IBS programme's foundational formulation from January 2023 onwards being that co-led by the PI and IBS.

BUSINESS-AS-USUAL DATA-DRIVEN ECONOMY

6. • The world's most valuable resource is not longer
oil, but data.
• Indeed, as long as is extracted and shared with
local communities.
• Consequently, data are not the oil of the 21st
century; they are people.
• Thus, our local economies at city/county level and
beyond could be organised as data co-operatives
(a federated model of data co-operatives).

1. Rethink the traditional Basque Studies programmes
2. Leave on the table a strategic vision for a Transdisciplinary Basque Studies academic
programme
3. Lead a smooth transition towards Data-Driven Economic foundational principles
4. Engage with the Basque Community and strategic stakeholders in Bakersfield, Kern
County/Central Valley, and California

17. What is the use of being proud of our past
if we are not proud of our future?
A nation does not look like what it
remembers, but it is doing
Those who don't look forward
get left behind
