Blanquerna-URL Chair: Faith, spirituality, culture and social commitment

The Blanquerna-Ramon Llull Chair is a dynamic and interdisciplinary program dedicated to preserving, maintaining, and renewing the identity, vision, and mission of our institution. It achieves this by considering the unique characteristics and founding objectives of the university, while also taking into account key contextual elements such as the secular nature of the academic world, the dialogical dimension of knowledge and culture, and the respect for religious freedom and pluralism.

Founded in 1994, it is dedicated to serving future professionals by offering comprehensive training. It also aims to benefit society by generating and transmitting knowledge that drives transformative action, and to explicitly uphold the values of the Gospel. Aligned with the academic, ecclesial, and social nature of Blanquerna-URL, the Blanquerna-Ramon Llull Chair conducts its activities across three main areas: academics, faith and spirituality, and solidarity. It promotes the integration of these areas within all its centers.
