Center for African Studies
The Center for African Studies of the University of La Laguna (CEA-ULL) was founded in the early 1990s, although it was relaunched in the mid-2000s. Its objective is to promote, through research and dissemination, the African continent in all its facets (social, economic, environmental, cultural, and scientific), while acting as a bridge between the Canary Islands and the peoples of Africa, promoting solidarity, cultural exchange, cooperation, the mitigation of socioeconomic inequalities, and the fight against climate change. Among the lines of work of the CEA-ULL are the organization throughout the year of conferences, seminars, and meetings on different aspects of African reality, cooperation between the University of La Laguna and Africa, the mobility of students and professors from African universities and the University of La Laguna, training and research in African studies, as well as serving as a meeting place for members of the university community and civil society interested in a better understanding and dissemination of Africa. The CEA-ULL headquarters are located in the Philology Building, Faculty of Humanities, Floor -1, Guajara Campus of the University of La Laguna (Tenerife, Canary Islands).
