A masterclass by Rajoy and seminars on artificial intelligence highlight the UMA courses in Marbella.

Marbella will once again be the academic venue for the University of Malaga (UMA) Summer Courses, with a program taking place from July 1 to July 4, which will include five courses and a masterclass. The city, which has hosted this initiative since 2008, celebrates its 17th edition as one of the main venues of the educational institution's summer program. In this regard, Mayor Ángeles Muñoz has expressed her satisfaction with continuing this collaboration "and maintaining this dynamic, which is part of our summer calendar and our commitment to knowledge, culture, and education." In this sense, she thanked the UMA General Foundation (FGUMA) and its team "for the organizational effort, the selection of speakers, and the quality of the content, which make this event a benchmark."

The courses will kick off on July 1 with a masterclass titled 'The Future of Europe,' led by former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. Additionally, topics of special relevance and current interest such as 'Artificial Intelligence. Challenges and Horizons', 'The Value of Science Against Disinformation', 'Picasso and the Avant-Gardes', 'Keys to Living with Stress and Anxiety', and 'Present and Future of Urban Planning' will be addressed. The training activities, free in their in-person format and with an option for streaming, will be held this year at the Hospital Real de la Misericordia, the Spanish Contemporary Engraving Museum, and the Cortijo Miraflores Cultural Center.

Meanwhile, the general director of the FGUMA, Eugenio Luque, has highlighted that "this year's program is of a high standard and represents a collective effort of the staff, coordinators, and the City Council." He added that "these courses reflect the university's outreach to the city and vice versa, a line that should continue to be strengthened with new joint actions." The Vice Chancellor for Equality, Social Policy, and University Welfare, María José Berlanga, has noted "the consolidation of Marbella as a venue with a great trajectory and emblematic presence" and has highlighted the diversity of content, which spans areas such as culture, technology, health, and science, and which "make this initiative a rigorous but also close and attractive educational experience." Registrations remain open until next Sunday, June 29.
