The text is signed by the president of the organization, Carlos Fernández Carriedo, in Arroyo de la Encomienda on October 1, 2026.

The modified call is the one approved by the Resolution of June 19, 2023, from the Presidency of the ICE, which is processed under a non-competitive concurrence regime and is co-financed with European funds.
