The ULPGC, established in 1989, has more than 25,000 students and 1,500 lecturers. It has modern facilities and equipment, with a Wi-Fi area in all its centers. The ULPGC offers the university community a wide range of cultural and sports activities to complement academic learning, promoting values such as solidarity, social justice, gender equality, and respect for diversity and the environment among community members. The ULPGC is a leading university in e-learning. Degrees and Master's programs and a wide range of courses at all learning levels are offered online. The ULPGC has signed agreements with universities from the five continents to facilitate teachers, researchers, students, and administrative staff. In 2007, the ULPGC won the Quality Award for Public Service and Special Mention for Best Management Practices, both from the Government of the Canary Islands. In 2010, the ULPGC was evaluated by an International Committee and earned the qualification of Campus of International Excellence from the Ministry of Education of the Government of Spain. It also develops intense work in the field of development cooperation. It is worth noting the achievement of several UNESCO Chairs at the ULPGC. The University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria was created in the 1989-1990 academic year due to a significant movement in society in Gran Canaria, which culminated when the Canary Islands Parliament passed the University Reorganisation Law on April 26th, 1989. This law brought together the Canary Islands Polytechnic University (which was first set up in 1979 as the Polytechnic University of Las Palmas) with other university centers on Gran Canaria, some of which date back to the 19th century. Thus, the ULPGC is a modern institution with a long academic track record, committed to quality, efficiency, and modernity. The organization of the University is based on several different organs. The single-member bodies include those of the President, who is aided in his work by the Board. Collegiate organs include the Governing Council, the Social Council, the Senate, and the University Community Ombudsman. The University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has invested several outstanding personalities as Doctors Honoris Causa, including several Nobel prize-winners, such as José Saramago and Rigoberta Menchú, the astronaut Miguel López Alegría, the tenor Alfredo Kraus and the linguist Eugenio Coseriu. Research activities reflect the multi-disciplinary nature of our 36 Departments: 12 in engineering and architecture, 11 in science and health sciences, 6 in social and legal sciences, and 7 in art and humanities. ULPGC research includes cutting-edge projects in such wide-ranging subjects as oceanography, marine science, aquaculture, computer robotics, nutrition, cancer, ITC, renewable energies, transport economy, business organization, town planning, translation, and the history of the Canary Islands, among others.
