Compostela Group of Universities

The Compostela Group of Universities (CGU) is an international non-profit association that promotes and executes collaboration projects between institutions of higher education.[2][3] In 1993, the University of Santiago de Compostela began initiating contact with other institutions in higher education situated along the Way of St. James, to establish a university network for collaboration and to help helped to preserve the cultural and historical heritage that emerged along the ancient pilgrim route.These were officially adopted at the first Constituent Assembly, held at the University of Santiago de Compostela from 2–3 September 1994.The prize is awarded annually and seeks to reward "[...] any individual or institution that have contributed to the promotion of the European dimension in education, either in teaching and research or in the cultural, social and political fields [...]."The Compostela Group is represented by its president and three rectors of member universities, chosen annually by the General Council.
