Rafael Lostado returns to the presidency and begins a new phase with a new Board of Directors.

The SESGE Board of Directors and the REPSOL Foundation hosted an information session about General Systems and the projects in progress on June 21, 2016 in La Calle Velazquez, 166 - 28002 in Madrid.

This interactive meeting was aimed at presenting what organizations can do to enhance and manage their operations and businesses based on the General Systems Theory.

On March 17, 2016 at 8pm, there was a meeting at the restaurant Cava Baja to present the Spanish Society of General Systems and speak on the Theory of Systems.

A new phase began that suggested a change of headquarters from Valencia to Madrid. Thanks to Rafael Rodriguez de Cora’s initiative, SESGE is making an effort to strengthen and update the three functions that have been developed in the Valencian phase: didactic (management is organizing a Master of Systems), investigation (the RIS continues to be associated with Valencia University), and international through the organizations that SESGE already has a relationship with.

During his directive, SESGE, thanks to the prestige of their member’s publications, were able to get two of their members, Antonio Caselles and Francisco Parra Luna, to be nominated as Academic members of the International Academu for Systems and Cybernetic Sciences.

Lorenzo Ferrer

Since the foundation of SESGE, it has developed its activities first in Madrid and later in Valencia. Since 1997 and under the aegis of Lorenzo Ferrer who, as a professor at the University of Valencia, created the School of Operational Research in which the closest members of SESGE developed an activity focused as much in teaching (Master in Systems); as in research (International Review of Systems); as in international relations consisting of participation in various conferences organized by the Union Européénne des Systémes, the International Society for the Systems Sciences and other systemic societies like French, Greek or British ones. During this time, apart from the invaluable work of Professor Lorenzo Ferrer, we must highlight the research and scientific work carried out by Antonio Caselles and Rafael Pla, not to mention Ignacio Martínez de Lejarza, Rodolfo Hernandez, Rafael Soler, and Rafael Lostado as its last president. All of them are owed explicit recognition for their work.

In this second stage of the SESGE, Francisco Parra Luna takes charge of the presidency, who focuses the activity on the creation and direction of the University Institute of Human Resources of the Complutense following the systemic principles of the SESGE. During this short stage the following materials are published:

• The Integrative Challenge. IURH. Madrid, 1992.
• Know the temperature of your company. IURH, Madrid, 1994.
• Education and employment in Spain, IURH, publ. in 1998.

The Spanish Society of General Systems (SESGE), is a nonprofit organization brought to fruition by Rafael Rodriguez Delgado in 1979.
