La Laguna, a city open to global thinking
It is a project that arises from the close collaboration between the Excellency City Council of the city of San Cristóbal de la Laguna, the University of La Laguna and the CajaCanarias Foundation.
Born with a vocation of permanence over time, waiting to continue providing new editions in the future that allow the transmission of advanced knowledge in a framework of excellence and quality, while the city makes visible and offers its emblematic spaces to the participating public.
In its first edition, the Campus is articulated around three major thematic areas: the disasters of war, the role of cultural heritage in the 21st century and the advances in neuroscience, neurotechnology and neuroders, which will be addressed from an interdisciplinary, critical and global perspective, gathering prominent national and international prestige specialists.

La Laguna, Culture City

An incomparable framework, and of a symbolic value added on the 25th anniversary of its declaration as a world heritage of UNESCO, recognized for its history, its foundational layout and its commitment to coexistence and cultural diversity.
