The president of CEU San Pablo University Foundation (FUSP CEU), Alfonso Bullón de Mendoza, and the president from Santander Universities, Matías Rodríguez Inciarte, have signed the renovation of the agreement by virtue of which the CEU Educational Group, and Banco Santander continue with the relationship they have maintained since 1996.
The entity will allocate 470.000 euros to different mobility programs and scholarships, study and research grants, employability and entrepreneurship, from which more than 450 students, researchers and entrepreneurs will benefit annually. This economic contribution that will promote the development of young talent and future employability, following three fundamental principles; studies, employment and entrepreneurship.
Some of the funds will go to the different international mobility programs that allow students to follow part of their studies in prestigious international universities such as the Università degli Studi di Roma “La Sapienza”, or the Université Catholique de Lille. Other resources will fund research stays at leading centres such as King’s College of London or the University Hospital of Cologne. International experience like this enriches students’ training and promotes their personal growth and improves their professional projection in an increasingly globalised labor market.
Moreover, Santander will continue offering CEU its technological, operational and management collaboration through different initiatives and projects such as Universia Spain, Open Academy, Santander X and the AppCrue through Santander Universities.
Santander's support facilitates access to unique opportunities for students and researchers at CEU universities and consolidates both institutions as leaders in the educational and scientific fields. With this renewed alliance, both institutions confirm their commitment to continue working together for excellence in higher education.
