The jury of the 16th edition of the Carlos V European Award, which is granted by the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation, has decided to deliver the prize to Portuguese António Guterres, current Secretary-General of the United Nations “for his proven, extensive and long-standing life career devoted to social commitment, the process of European integration, the promotion of multilateralism and human dignity as the core of his work, addressing global challenges and crises”.

More than 360 people from nineteen countries have registered in the 2nd Conference “Revealing Conflicts. Journalism and Communication for International Cooperation”, which has been inaugurated today at the Faculty of Documentation and Communication Sciences of the University of Extremadura. This conference, which has been organised by Yuste Foundation along with the Extremaduran International Cooperation Agency for Development and the University of Extremadura, is directed by the Extremaduran reporter who specialises in conflicts, Ángel Sastre.

A year into the war in Ukraine, the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste has adopted the Declaration of Yuste, where it condemns “so much unnecessary and undeserved human suffering” while expressing its “sincere and profound solidarity” with the Ukrainian people, who have been “ravaged by unjustified and condemnable military aggression by a neighbouring nation that has been culturally and spiritually linked to it for centuries”.

Yuste Foundation has organised the seminar “Next Generation, Renewable Energies and Industrial Development in Extremadura” along with the University of Alcalá, to be held next Friday morning, on 17 February, in Guadalupe (Cáceres).
