Sant Julià de Lòria, 16 October 2026. Universitat Europea IMF (eUniv) and Fundación Privada Prevent have signed a collaboration agreement to promote training initiatives, social inclusion, and access to the labour market for people with disabilities.

This alliance highlights Fundación Prevent’s extensive experience in awarding scholarships and supporting people with disabilities, providing opportunities for their academic and professional development. At the same time, eUniv further strengthens its commitment to inclusive education and equal opportunities by joining initiatives that help build a more equitable and inclusive society.

The agreement has been signed by the Rector of eUniv, Dr Antoni Noguero, and the President of the Fundació Privada Prevent, Ms Montserrat Moré. The ceremony has been attended by the Chancellor of eUniv, Dr Jesús M. Prujá, and the University’s General Manager, Mr Antón Miret.

Sant Julià de Lòria, 14 October. The European University (eUniv) presented to the General Syndic, Mr. Carles Ensenyat Reig, the project for the International Legal Symposium Commemorating the 750th Anniversary of the Andorran Pariatges, a landmark academic initiative that will take place in 2028.

The symposium is promoted and organized by eUniv through the Fiter i Rossell Chair of Legal and Institutional History, with the aim of bringing together national and international experts to analyze the legal, historical, and institutional significance of the Pariatges, one of the most important founding milestones in Andorra’s history.

The initiative seeks to contribute to the commemoration of a particularly significant date for the country. On 8 September 1278, the arbitration award signed in Lleida brought an end to the dispute between the Bishopric of Urgell and the County of Foix over the lordship of the Andorran valleys, giving rise to a unique institutional model that would shape the Principality’s political development for centuries.

Through this international academic gathering, eUniv proposes a renewed reflection on the meaning of the Pariatges in the institutional construction of Andorra, addressing issues such as their legal nature, their role as a conflict-resolution mechanism, and their influence on the country’s historical development.

The programme will bring together legal scholars, historians, researchers and specialists from various European universities and research centres, strengthening Andorra’s position as a meeting point for academic debate on historical institutions and their contemporary legacy.

The University delegation was composed of its Rector, Dr Antoni Noguero; Chancellor, Dr Jesús M. Prujà; Academic Protonotary, Dr Marc B. Escolà; and the Director of the Fiter i Rossell Chair of Legal and Institutional History, Dr Josep Serrano.

By organizing this symposium, eUniv reaffirms its commitment to research, knowledge dissemination and the promotion of Andorra’s legal and institutional heritage, contributing from the academic sphere to a celebration that seeks to project internationally one of the most distinctive elements of the Principality’s history.

Sant Julià de Lòria , September 29- Ignasi Martín, professor of the Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Organization Engineering at eUniv, presented his new book, El factor coraje. El valor de ser tú mismo (The Courage Factor: The Value of Being Yourself), last Tuesday, September 22, at the Hive Five Coworking space in Andorra.

The book proposes an inner journey of self-discovery through the story of Elian, a young druid apprentice who sets off on a quest to reconnect with his own voice, face his fears, and unlock the strength he has always carried within. Combining narrative storytelling, metaphors, and thought-provoking questions, the work merges coaching and personal development to explore key themes such as authenticity, decision-making, purpose, and the value of being true to oneself.

Ignasi Martín’s extensive experience guiding individuals, professionals, and leaders serves as the foundation for the insights presented in this work, designed as an invitation to introspection and personal growth.
