Unizar is a Nobel Prize-winning university. This is exemplified by one of its most distinguished alumni, Santiago Ramón y Cajal, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1906, in recognition of his work on the structure of the nervous system.

The University of Zaragoza seeks to give Cajal the recognition he deserves and, through his legacy, highlight its own commitment to knowledge, research, and excellence.

Cajal embodies a vision of the University as a space for learning, questioning, researching, and moving forward.

The life and career of Santiago Ramón y Cajal are deeply intertwined with the University of Zaragoza. At the same time, the history of the University has been shaped by the legacy of one of its most renowned and internationally celebrated alumni.

That is why the campaign goes beyond simply rediscovering and celebrating a figure from the past. It brings Cajal into the present, crafting messages inspired by some of his most famous quotes and reflections, whose relevance remains as strong as ever.

A contemporary Cajal speaks directly to those who are driving the transformation and development of society today: undergraduate and postgraduate students; teaching and research staff; and technical, management, administrative, and support staff.

It is not only about remembering what Cajal achieved, but about highlighting what made it possible for him to achieve it.

The University of Zaragoza provides the space, tools, and knowledge that enable new generations to continue learning, researching, questioning, and driving society forward.

Cajal connects the prestige of an extraordinary history with the ambition of those who are destined to write the next chapter.
