At the same time, the Director of the La Salle-URL School of Engineering, Guiomar Corral, congratulated the anniversary, pointing out the will to continue training excellent and committed professionals.
The event was a great opportunity to reconnect with people, rebuild bonds and claim a shared identity that has grown over the years.

During the event, attendees got to know the new spaces of the Executive Education, located in the Santa Maria de l’Estrella building, and the Interactive Arts & Science Laboratory (IASlab), the pioneering campus laboratory in Europe in transdisciplinary research and artistic creation, which was inaugurated this academic year and represents the innovation, experimentation and transversal collaboration that characterizes La Salle-URL training.
The fifteen years of the degree course consolidate the campus’s value proposition in the field of engineering: the humanistic approach, the ability to adapt to market challenges, the constant link with technological innovation and the desire to train competent professionals and people committed to their community, capable of transforming reality with ethical criteria and a critical spirit. In this sense, celebrations like this also highlight the importance for La Salle-URL of consolidating the alumni network, maintaining a lively and two-way contact and accompanying them during all the formative stages of their life cycle.
