UIS Spain

Connecting Italian students and professionals across Spain through culture, community, and opportunities, creating a shared space where collaboration thrives and new horizons open.

Bridging Cultures

Founded in 2024, the UIS Spain Chapter was created to bring together a growing community of Italian students and young professionals who are studying and working across Spain. Our members come from some of the country’s most international universities: including IE University and Universidad Europea in Madrid, and most recently Esade University in Barcelona.

Through social events, career-focused initiatives, networking opportunities, and collaborations with other universities, we work to create a lively and supportive network for Italians navigating their academic and professional lives in Spain.

The UIS Spain Chapter is more than just a student organization: it’s a welcoming hub, a space for personal and professional growth, and a starting ground for future leaders shaping the relationship between Italy and Spain.
