Guadalupe (Cáceres), 25 March 2026

The European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation, the University of Extremadura (UEx), and the Centre for Research on Ibero-American Studies at Rey Juan Carlos University (CEIB-URJC) announce the 9^TH INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON RELATIONS BETWEEN LATIN AMERICA, THE CARIBBEAN AND EUROPE, entitled “THE ROLE OF LATIN AMERICA AND EUROPE IN A WORLD AT WAR”, which will be held in Guadalupe (Cáceres) on 25 March 2026.

The objectives of this Congress are:

• To continue deepening the interaction that over five centuries has been taking place between the Americas and Europe.
• To prioritise research that studies this relationship, which has been shaping a historical reality in both regions, evidenced in a cultural and material heritage that is, in many cases, shared. On this occasion, the focus will be on aspects related to the environment, energy, and critical infrastructures in the two regions.
• To continue advancing studies on migratory flows between the Americas, Extremadura, and Europe.
• To increase debate between the two regions, highlighting above all the participation of young researchers in the fields of International Relations and the History of Ibero-America as a space reflecting the profound relationships between the two regions.

This edition of the congress forms part of the activities of the project “EU–LAC Cooperation in a Transforming World: Institutional Strengthening for Global Governance”, funded by the Extremaduran Agency for International Development Cooperation (AEXCID). The project aims to strengthen institutional capacities, enhance bi-regional political dialogue and promote strategic cooperation between the European Union (EU) and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) in response to an international context shaped by profound economic, social, technological and geopolitical changes.
