About Campus América

Campus América

Since 2017, under the slogan ‘A sea of shared knowledge’, Campus América has provided a unique setting for the exchange of experiences and the promotion of new projects among universities, institutions, non-governmental organisations, and businesses.

Campus América 2026 se dedica a Chile como país invitado. Las relaciones entre Canarias y este país se remontan a 1726, y el contacto entre la Universidad de La Laguna y sus homólogas chilenas se inició en las décadas de los 60 y 70 del siglo XX.

During its fifth edition, Campus América will host 45 universities and institutions from 14 Latin American countries, sharing a wide range of activities: institutional, academic, and cultural. This has been made possible thanks to the financial support of 5 organisations and the collaboration of public institutions, entities, and international bodies.
