The Ramon Llull Chair was founded in 1994 to develop a common instrument and space for the Blanquerna faculties. The Chair takes the humanistic, integrative, committed and transcendent perspective of the scale of understanding of Ramon Llull as its fundamental bases. It is structured in four main areas: academic field, pastoral field, solidarity and cooperation field and identity and mission field.
Ars Brevis is an annual interdisciplinary publication that collects the contributions of university professors in the fields of anthropology, ethics, and philosophy.
The aim of this yearbook is to make research in the field of thought known from an interdisciplinary and global point of view, with an eminently pedagogical character, at the service of the educand. The tone of the yearbook, divided into three sections (studies, monograph and reviews) is academic and scientific, but also includes texts that seek a high dissemination of thought.
The journal has an International Editorial Board and an Advisory Board, and all manuscripts are subject to an evaluation system. The Editorial Board keeps open the reception of articles and book reviews for the following issues of the yearbook. The reception and evaluation procedure can be found in the Contributor Guide.
Pastoral Area In addition to the activities carried out by the Ramon Llull Chair, in the three Blanquerna faculties, there are spaces for reflection isolated from the hustle and bustle dedicated to the celebration of the Faith or cultural and religious animation. Personalized attention and information on church life is also offered to all students who wish. There are a number of pastoral groups that promote activities in this regard and which can be joined by students, teachers and staff.
Solidarity action It is a complement to training and / or professional employment, which responds to the educational ideals of Blanquerna: solidarity, freedom-responsibility, human dignity and the will to serve. It is a social action based on volunteering, expressed in a plurality of forms and modalities, which allows the development of altruistic and service concerns among those who participate.
Collaboration and voluntary participation in the different intervention projects in the Third and Fourth World are promoted. University research groups are also promoted, support for one-off solidarity campaigns and training days are organized.
