The continuity of these conferences over time has been a key factor in fostering cohesion among critical economists in Spain, as well as in spreading heterodox economic thought throughout the country\u2014a process to which the subsequent creation of the Association of Critical Economics (AEC) and the Critical Economics Journal (REC) has undoubtedly contributed.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, the Association\u2019s Board of Directors has decided to create the <strong>\u201cAEC Honorary Award\u201d<\/strong> to formally recognize those individuals who, since the first JEC was held nearly 40 years ago, have contributed through their work and dedication to the development and preservation of the critical economics movement and heterodox economic thought. This Distinction will be awarded biennially, coinciding with the JEC, and will formally acknowledge that the work and commitment of certain individuals over all these years have been crucial to continuing to nurture this collective project. It has therefore been deemed fitting to bestow this institutional recognition as a token of the Board of Directors\u2019 most sincere gratitude, which also expresses the prevailing sentiment of all those who are part of the AEC.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the Board of Directors is pleased to announce that it has decided to award the \u201cAEC Honorary Distinction\u201d in this first edition, to be held at the upcoming JEC2026, to two individuals who are deeply cherished among us for their excellent professional work and their tremendous social commitment: <strong>Miren Etxezarreta and Angel Mart\u00ednez Gonz\u00e1lez-Tablas.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-image us_custom_ff58f711 align_center meta_simple\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/jec2026.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/miren.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jec2026.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/miren.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jec2026.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/miren-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"w-image-meta\"><div class=\"w-image-description\"><h4>Miren Etxezarreta <\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"w-image us_custom_ff58f711 align_center meta_simple\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/jec2026.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/angel.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jec2026.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/angel.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jec2026.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/angel-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"w-image-meta\"><div class=\"w-image-description\"><h4>Angel Mart\u00ednez Gonz\u00e1lez-Tablas. <\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_large\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_grid cols_1-4 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default reversed stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:3rem;\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-vwrapper us_custom_ca597f85 align_center valign_top\" style=\"--vwrapper-gap:0rem\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_492179a4\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Congratulations to Miren and Angel!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-counter color_primary align_none\" data-duration=\"2\"><div class=\"w-counter-value\"><span class=\"w-counter-value-part type_text\" data-final=\"\"><\/span><span class=\"w-counter-value-part type_number\" data-final=\"11\">11<\/span><span class=\"w-counter-value-part type_text\" data-final=\"\"><\/span><\/div><p class=\"w-counter-title\" style=\"font-weight:600;\">JUNIO 2026<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The award ceremony will take place during the JEC2026 social dinner, to be held on Thursday, June 11, at 9:00 p.m. at the NH Villa de Bilbao (Gran V\u00eda Don Diego Lopez de Haro, No. 87), located in the city center.
