The University of the Philippines (UP) and the Universidad de Málaga (UMA) of Spain have agreed to strengthen linkages and increase opportunities for collaboration with the opening of representative offices between UP and UMA and the creation of the Aula Maria Zambrano UP-UMA Centre at the UP Diliman campus on December 1, 2023.
This Centre will be a hub “for the study of relations between the Philippines, Spain and Ibero-America, enriching our understanding of the Pacific region’s cultural heritage,” said UP President Angelo A. Jimenez.
Officials of the two universities visited the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs (OVPAA) International Collaboration Unit at Vinzons Hall, UP Diliman, before signing two Memoranda of Agreement at the UP Board of Regents Room at Quezon Hall.
“Together, we aim to create a lasting impact on both our institutions and the public even beyond academic pursuits. The cultural, social, political, and economic exchanges facilitated by this collaboration will provide a broader vision on Transatlantic Studies,” Jimenez said.
Prof. Juan Antonio García Galindo, UMA Vice Rectorate of Social Projection and Communication, said that the Centre here will be a place for research and collaboration. It will also link UP to the International Network of María Zambrano Centres for Transatlantic Studies (AMZET) and Centre for Ibero-American and Transatlantic Studies coordinated by the University of Málaga.
