The Ramon Llull professorship, founded in 1994, is an inter-faculty concept which is divided into four complementary areas, the academic, the pastoral, the solidarity and cooperation, and the identity and mission.
The academic area includes the fields of anthropology, ethics, philosophy and theology of the Blanquerna’s three schools and acts as a driving force in university curriculums, facilitating research and teacher publications and publishing the yearbook Ars Brevis.
The pastoral area provides pastoral care in the centres and offers an environment fit for insight, thought and celebration for believers within the university community.
The solidarity and cooperation area allows us to sensitize and act in difficult realities in our environment with specific actions: solidarity campaigns, exhibitions, conferences, etc. From the cooperation sense, we travel to other countries to collaborate in volunteer work through organizations committed to development.
The Ramon Llull professorship therefore aims to bring up to date the humanistic, integrating and vital perspective of the world of science and of the level of understanding of Ramon Llull, the literary author of the Blanquerna.
