He is a founder member of the Digital Journalists Group, created in Catalonia in 1996.

He also helped found 3 international “en.red.ando” conferences (Barcelona 2000, 2001 and 2003) which focus on visualisation of computing, the intelligent web, and the semantic web. “Enredando” has also organized a Masters in Digital Communications programme in collaboration with the Universities of the Balearic Islands and of Vic.

Today, he continues to work as a consultant and journalist, with particular interest in the application of information technologies in organizations, management of knowledge networks, and development of information systems for virtual communities.
