A benchmark university

For its outstanding work in training, research and innovation, as well as for its close collaboration with the University of La Laguna, the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC) deserves the Gold Medal from this institution. This distinction recognizes its decisive impact on the scientific, cultural, and social development of the islands. Throughout its 35-year history, the ULPGC has become an academic and scientific benchmark, especially in areas such as marine sciences, engineering, and tourism, contributing decisively to the progress and well-being of Canarian society.
