The 2026 Universidad de Otoño de La Palma runs from 21 October to 21 November and combines continuing education with a distinctly practical approach. The programme comprises seven courses, seven workshops and an additional supplementary workshop. Topics covered include artificial intelligence, mental health in young people and other issues relating to care and wellbeing, astronomy, interpretive walking, ecological gardening and regenerative viticulture.
The courses are open to the general public and do not require any prior knowledge. Each course is scheduled to last ten hours. They combine face-to-face sessions with several asynchronous online phases to allow for greater flexibility in participation. The workshops have been expanded compared to last year and each lasts four to five hours in person.
New to this edition is an additional workshop in November focusing on marketing for the wine sector. Information on the Autumn University and registration for the individual courses can be found on the official website of the Universidad de La Laguna.
