  Curricular Synthesis ofJoão C L Penha-Lopes Introduction I like to work in the area of organization information in terms of identifying and organizing the information but, as well, make sure that that information will flow among whoever has the need for it. In some organizations the infrastructure is still the traditional one, in others I have been able to implement emerging technologies and their associated benefits in terms of the need for fewer resources to be spent. Basically I combine the principles of information archiving theories with the available technologies to make sure that both integrate smoothly to the benefit of the client. My academic life has provided me with the exact tools for that purpose: Engineering graduation (with integrated Master’s Degree), one Post- Graduation in Information and Document Sciences covering Archives, one Post-Graduation covering Libraries and I started in 2008 a PhD in the area of Electronic Documents. My professional career shown briefly proves that I am used to manage teams and with deadlines and most of the times in areas where political or social “sensitivities” are to be dealt with. Although I am Portuguese I consider myself bilingual in English, since I worked for many years with English companies. I also speak French and Spanish I will list the following milestones in my Academic and Professional career:
