The general action protocol seeks to strengthen the channels of partnership between the island and the University of Navarra, mainly in three areas: teaching, research and knowledge dissemination.
The University of Navarra has been conducting academic activities on the island for three years. During this academic year, students from School of Architecture made proposals for a multifunctional center for the elderly at partnership with the City Council of El Paso. In addition, students of the Degree in Environmental Sciences have learned first-hand about the island's biodiversity, and a summer course on the uses and applications of iron was given by local artisan and blacksmith Yoel Díaz Sánchez, among other activities.
