Campus Yuste

It is a training programme run by Yuste Foundation, designed as a space for meeting, debate and reflection among university students, researchers, academics and internationally renowned figures in a shared living environment.

The course topics focus on the challenges facing the European Union; relations between Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean; and the era of Emperor Charles V.

The courses are held at the Monastery of San Jerónimo de Yuste, a site awarded the European Heritage Label by the European Commission in 2023 in recognition of its significance in Europe’s collective memory, as it was the final retreat of Emperor Charles V and a symbol of European unity and integration. It is currently a historic site managed by Patrimonio Nacional.
