I am pleased to welcome you to the University of Cadiz, an institution that celebrates its 40th anniversary this year and which sets out for one of the most interesting projects from its creation -the European Universities seal- without setting aside its vocation for the American continent and its relations with the Mediterranean neighbours. And a university that, while keeping up with its global presence, continues to think locally, in its province, in the richness of its four campuses, each of these with their own features showcasing synergies from the different regions.
