De La Salle University-Dasmarinas (DLSU-D), La Salle Barcelona - Ramon Llull University, and La Salle Madrid have officially formalized their commitment to academic collaboration through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
The signing marked a significant milestone, executed by Br. Iñigo Riola, FSC, President of DLSU-D, and Dr. Josep Santos, Director General of La Salle Barcelona. This agreement leverages the strength of the global Lasallian network, aiming to create reciprocal benefits for the three institutions by promoting cultural and scholastic exchange.
The initial collaboration will focus intently on practical, high-impact programs, specifically targeting the fields of Engineering, Architecture, Multimedia Arts, and Business. For students, the MOU opens doors to invaluable international experiences, including exchange and summer programs that offer immersion in the distinct academic and cultural environments of Barcelona and Madrid—major European innovation hubs.
Furthermore, the partnership is designed to foster joint activities among faculty members in these disciplines, promoting shared expertise and facilitating research outputs with a global reach. By exchanging knowledge in areas like sustainable architecture and digital media innovation, the institutions intend to advance their curricula and faculty development. This alliance underscores their shared mission to provide a globally competitive education rooted in the values of St. John Baptist de La Salle.
