COMUNICATION

The European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation together with the Asocición de Mujeres Laboralistas de Andalucía and the Research Network of the Ministry of Science and Innovation “La protección social y la coordinación de sistemas de Seguridad Social en la Unión Europea e Iberoamérica: los desafíos del Brexit y el Pilar Europeo de los Derechos Sociales”, have organised the conference entitled “Guadalupe Legal Sessions: Coordination of Social Security Systems. A Legal Bridge between the European Union and Ibero-America”, which will be held on 19 and 20 September at the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Guadalupe. (16/09/2022)

The aim of these legal sessions is to analyse the coordination of social security systems within the European Union, in turn in connection with the Ibero-American countries. They will also examine the free movement of persons and workers and their involvement in the field of social security.

When choosing Guadalupe as the venue for the talks, the intention was to highlight its status as a “cradle of Hispanity” and promote its projection as an enclave for the promotion of research internationally. This was one of the aspirations of the Congress that was held in April 2022 in tribute to the native of Guadalupe, jurist Lorenzo Lebrón de Quiñones, who was the founder of the Audiencia de Nueva Galicia in Mexico. These sessions are thus another link in the achievement of such an objective.

This seminar is directed by the professors of Labour Law and Social Security of the University of Seville, Cristina Sánchez-Rodas Navarro and Esperanza Macarena Sierra Benítez.

Among the speakers attending will be the president of the Superior Court of Justice of Extremadura, María Félix Tena Aragón; the historian of law and graduate professor at the University of Buenos Aires, Sixto Sánchez-Lauro; the provincial director of the INSS and the TGSS of Cáceres, Alexandra Díaz Mordillo; the vice president of the Asociación Española de Salud y Seguridad Social, Carlos García de Cortázar Nebreda; the professors of the University of Seville Cristina Sánchez-Rodas, María Teresa Igartua Miró and Esperanza Macarena Sierra Benítez,  among other teachers and experts.

The sessions count with the collaboration of the City Council of Guadalupe and the Franciscan community of the Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe.
