Volunteer and Cooperation Office

The Volunteer and Cooperation Office is a space of openness and diversity for all who are committed to social justice. It aims to heighten awareness and mobilize the university community, promote ethical values and attitudes and foster Corporate Social Responsibility on the part of Universidad Europea de Madrid.
Towards these ends, we work with volunteers, NGOs and departments within our university.
Come and expand your horizons!

“University for Development” Program:
Through the “University for Development” program, we make it possible for students to collaborate on an international cooperation project as part of their final year project or other subjects.
Depending on your degree program, interests and the actual needs of the projects being undertaken by NGOs in developing countries, you may carry out a project from Spain or even go abroad, accompanied by a tutor and with the technical support of the Volunteer and Cooperation Office.
