José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, mayor of Adeje, and Rosa Aguilar Chinea, rector of the University of La Laguna (ULL), signed the collaboration agreement by which the municipal Corporation will provide more infrastructure in order to guarantee and expand the Adejero university campus. Specifically, for the delivery of official undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, the consistory will provide municipal real estate, such as the Adeje Cultural Center and its annex buildings, as established in the agreement.
The rector of the University of La Laguna, Rosa Aguilar Chinea, pointed out that this agreement promotes the continuity of the activities of the university center in the southern municipality: “We will continue doing the same, studying the needs and potential of the current tourism sector and proposing initiatives that allow progress from knowledge and training, which are fundamental tools for development.

In this line, he defended that “we continue to advance hand in hand with the University of La Laguna, with which we have been working for more than two decades and will continue to be so.” The Adejero councilor considers “that the path to quality goes through training and, therefore, Adeje will always continue to invest in improving all those elements that are linked to training.”
