The Duran i Martí Private Foundation, based in Tortosa, and the European University (eUniv), based in Sant Julià de Lòria, in the Principality of Andorra, have signed an academic cooperation agreement to promote the organization of scientific symposiums devoted to the presentation and discussion of the legal history of the principalities of Catalonia and Andorra. The agreement provides for the joint organization of conferences and international congresses aimed at deepening the study of historical law and highlighting the shared legal heritage between the two territories.

Among the first initiatives is the “1st Symposium on the History of the Customs of Tortosa,” an international congress held within the framework of the 750th anniversary of the Customs of Tortosa. The symposium will take place in the Terres de l’Ebre in the autumn of 2027 and will bring together specialists to analyze the historical and legal significance of the Customs, one of the most relevant legal compilations of medieval Catalan law.

Through this agreement, both institutions strengthen international academic collaboration and establish Tortosa as a center for scholarly debate on the legal tradition of the principalities.

On Thursday, 26 February 2026, eUniv signed a cooperation agreement with the Association of Institutes of Sufi Spiritual Philosophy (ISSF) to promote programmes of study on Sufism.

This initiative is being jointly led by eUniv’s Faculty of Humanities and its Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies.

The ISSF, headquartered in the Federal Republic of Germany, was represented at the signing ceremony by Mr. Abdulmase Chami.

In accordance with the provisions of this agreement, eUniv will be in a position to offer its own studies on Sufism starting in the next academic year 2026–2027; these studies will be available in several languages and will feature renowned specialists in this field.

On Wednesday, 25 February 2026, Mr. Carles Pérez-Desoy i Fages paid an official institutional visit to eUniv’s headquarters in Sant Julià de Lòria.

The Ambassador was received by the Academic Board, led by the University’s Rector, Dr. Antoni Noguero, and by members of the Academic Senate, led by the Vice-Chancellor, Rev. Josep Chisvert.

This was the first time a Spanish ambassador had visited the university, and his presence enabled the academic authorities who welcomed him to provide detailed institutional information about eUniv, which may serve as a basis for establishing future agreements to develop joint initiatives.

During the visit, the Rector presented the Ambassador with the eUniv Medal, as well as several of the university’s recent scientific publications.

Between 20 and 30 October 2025, the Area of History of Law and Institutions of Miguel Hernández University of Elche organised the Research Seminar: Victims and Perpetrators. The institutionalisation of repression in twentieth-century European totalitarian states, aimed at fostering critical reflection on the devastating consequences that intransigence and ideological radicalisation have historically had on citizens’ lives.

Within the framework of this seminar, on 30 October, Dr Josep Serrano Daura, Director of the Fiter i Rossell Chair at eUniv, delivered a lecture on Catalan Historical Law and the continuity of the civil regime up to the twenty-first century.
