8TH INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON RELATIONS BETWEEN LATIN AMERICA, THE CARIBBEAN AND EUROPE. CULTURES AND IDENTITIES IN THE IBERO-AMERICAN SPACE: SPAIN’S CONTRIBUTION

28–29 October 2025, Training Centre for Spanish Cooperation, Antigua, Guatemala

The European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation, the Rafael Landívar University of Guatemala and the Centre for Research on Ibero-America Studies of the Rey Juan Carlos University (CEIB) are organising the “8th International Congress on Relations between Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe. Cultures and Identities in the Ibero-American Space: Spain’s Contribution”, to be held on 28–29 October 2025 in Antigua (Guatemala).

The objectives of this congress are:

  • To continue deepening the interaction that has taken place over five centuries between America and Europe.
  • To prioritise research that studies this relationship, which has shaped a historical reality in both regions, evidenced by a cultural and material heritage that is in many cases shared. On this occasion, the focus will be on cultural content and cooperation in this field.
  • To further advance cooperation between Spain and the other countries of the Ibero-American space, giving priority this time to Guatemala, as a country of great importance within the Ibero-American context; and to continue conducting studies on migratory flows between America, Extremadura and Europe.
  • To enhance debate between the two regions, highlighting in particular the participation of young researchers whose work focuses on cultural issues, with the aim of fostering a space of profound relations between the two regions.
