Fundación Cátedra Iberoamericana

The Fundación Cátedra Iberoamericana was created at the end of last year thanks to an initiative of the Balearic University (UIB). Their objectives are the cooperation programmes connected with education, training, research and communication between countries of Latin America.

The Foundation is presided by the rector of the UIB, Llorenç Huguet, and amongst its sponsors are the Balearic Government, the Calvia Town Council, the hotel firm Barceló, the Banco Santander, Sa Nostra, Air Europa, Telefónica, the Fundació Universitat Empresa de les Illes Balears, and the business group CAEB.

Recently, the Spanish princess Cristina, Duchess of Palma de Mallorca, accepted the Honorific Presidency of the Fundación Cátedra Iberoamericana de la UIB, which she was offered during the first meeting of the group held at the end of last November, because of her relation with the Balearics and the special attention paid by the Casa Real for all the topics of collaboration with the Latin-American countries.
