Among the novelties of this call, the extension of the Aula Universitaria del Estrecho (AUE) to sub-Saharan Africa stands out, since the projects with Burkina Faso, Gabon, and Ghana were added this year to the existing project with Côte d’Ivoire. Likewise, in the Southern Mediterranean and the Middle East, to the already existing projects with Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Jordan and Lebanon, this year the project is implemented with the University of Cairo, the most important university institution in Egypt. In turn, the University of Cádiz maintains its leadership in the field of Russian-speaking countries through the Aula Universitaria Hispano-Rusa and adds this year projects with Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, consolidating as one of the universities with the highest number of mobilities in this geographical area.

In Ibero-America, the maintenance of the project with Mexico is highlighted, which will allow the continuation of strategic actions between the University of Cádiz and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) within the framework of the International Campus of Excellence in Marine Sciences (CEI·Mar) , and Cuba. In addition, new projects have been achieved with Brazil and Guatemala, which foresee the development of actions in social responsibility, gender equality and in the CEI·Mar.
