The ‘Andalusia: History and Civilisation’ Initiative Committee is all set to host the second cultural symposium
in Abu Dhabi from February 20 to 21, highlighting the literary, cultural and scientific heritage of Andalusian

civilisation and its impact on the intellectual landscape.
This symposium follows the resounding success of its inaugural event, within the cultural programme of the
‘Andalusia: History and Civilisation’ initiative, in the Spanish capital, Madrid, last September. Building upon

the momentum generated by the first symposium, which witnessed a remarkable turnout of scientists,
specialists, and aficionados of Andalusian civilisation, this event aims to foster further dialogue and

The symposium will feature a diverse array of sessions covering various themes, including literature, art,

of experts, specialists, historians, and representatives of the academic community from prestigious
educational and cultural institutions, including the University of the UAE, the University of Sharjah, the
University of Jordan, the University of Tlemcen, and the University of Puerto Rico, will participate in these

sessions.
