Elche university in search of footwear professor

20/11/2014
The University Miguel Hernández has come up with an unusual way to celebrate St Crispin, the patron saint of the industry most closely associated with its main location, Elche, which is footwear production.

It has announced a new department for research into the footwear industry and has launched the search for a professor to lead it. The new professor will have the very grand title of the St Crispin Professor of Footwear Sector Research and the university aims to have it in place for the start of the next academic year, October 2015.
