University of La Laguna (ULL) Spain
Overview
The University of La Laguna (Universidad de La Laguna) was created in 1792 and since then it has continually aspired towards excellence in teaching, research and knowledge transfer as part of its efforts and commitment towards building a better society for all.
We offer a wide selection of official undergraduate degrees and master’s degrees that, together with our range of doctorate programs, cover all subject areas: Experimental Sciences, Health Sciences, Social Sciences, Humanities, and Engineering. In addition to the aforementioned, we also have an extensive course catalogue that includes the University’s own non-official programs and also our university extension courses. Furthermore, we offer a rich mix of cultural activities.
Although the University is firmly faced towards the future, we still value the history and traditions of the institution. They have served to instill both social and professional leadership skills in our students, empowering them with invaluable skills that are of the utmost importance for the development of the Canary Island archipelago and for their participation in dealings at national and international level. People make places, and it is the people who have either currently or previously formed part of the university as students, teachers, researchers, admin staff or support staff that make it a great institution.
Today, the University of La Laguna is laying the foundations needed in order to be a key actor on the global stage. We are mindful that higher education is crucial for both personal and social wellbeing, and that the promotion of knowledge is the best way to ensure peace and international development.

Gaining a clearer picture of exoplanets

Distinguishing planets based on their density rather than size provides a better way of classifying them.
Small, cool stars known as red dwarfs often have planets orbiting around them, some of which may be habitable. These planets fall into two categories, based on whether they have a small or large radius.
Now, a researcher from University of La Laguna and a collaborator have shown that classifying these planets based on their density provides a clearer picture.
The pair analysed 34 planets orbiting red dwarfs based on density and found that they could be classified into three types: rocky, water rich and gas rich.
They proposed that rocky planets could be birthed within the snow line—where it is cold enough for volatile compounds to form grains of ice. In contrast, water-rich worlds form outside it but then migrate to within it.
