More than 130 young people from Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Spain, Mauritania, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, the Czech Republic and Uruguay have enrolled in the summer course “The European Union’s Strategic Autonomy in the Face of the Global (Dis)Order”, which was inaugurated today at the Monastery of San Jerónimo de Yuste. Of the total number of participants, 50 are attending the course in person.

The Board of Trustees of the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation has agreed to propose the appointment of Fernando Pizarro as the Foundation’s new director to the Governing Council of the Regional Government of Extremadura.

The Board of Trustees, the Academy and the staff of the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation mourn the passing of the French philosopher and sociologist Edgar Morin, member of the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste. Morin took up the Jean Monnet chair during the ceremony for the awarding of the Carlos V European Award to Helmut Kohl on 20 June 2006.

The European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation is offering a total of 105 grants with the aim of covering tuition fees as well as accommodation and subsistence costs for participants in the Campus Yuste summer courses, which form part of the 27th edition of the International Summer–Autumn Courses of the University of Extremadura. The grants will be awarded through a competitive selection process.
