The U.S. Mission to Spain is announcing a funding opportunity for the "Defensa y Yo 5.0" program, aimed at promoting security and defense issues among Spanish and Andorran public university students. This initiative seeks proposals from eligible organizations to design, manage, and implement a series of lectures and competitions at sixteen selected Spanish public universities, enhancing students' understanding of security and defense topics while fostering relationships with university faculty.
