The CEU Elcano International Chair. First Round-the-World Tour, was created through an agreement signed by the Spanish Navy and the CEU San Pablo University as part of the commemorations of the 5th Centenary of the expedition of the first round-the-world expedition of Fernando de Magallanes and Juan Sebastián Elcano (1519-1522).
The CEU Cardenal Herrera University, the CEU Abad Oliva University and CEU San Pablo Andalucía Foundation complete the list of promoters of the Chair.
It is an inter-university and international Chair. It is a proposal open to society, in which an attempt will be made to transmit the consequences that the expedition had for the cultural and geographical evolution of humanity.
Created as part of the 5th Centenary, it aims to be a reference in studies around the Magallanes-Elcano Expedition, a permanent forum for study, reflection and transfer of knowledge that will go beyond the temporal space of the Centenary.

Born in Guetaria (Guipúzcoa) possibly in 1487. He was the eldest of 9 siblings in a family of seafaring and noble tradition.
Guetaria had obtained a charter from Alfonso VIII with other northern cities, giving them privileges and autonomy and consecrating their important role in navigation. On the other hand, they were obliged to lend ships and sailors when the king needed them.
Thus, Elcano participated in the Cisneros expeditions to North Africa, and in the Grand Captain’s fleet in Italy. He was the owner and captain of his own ship. But because of debts due to non-payment by the king he was forced to borrow from Italian bankers, and hand over his ship as payment (it was his main possession and livelihood). Delivering a ship to foreigners was a crime, and Elcano went to Seville to start a new life, and there he enlisted in the Magallanes expedition.
He was the first Spanish sailor to reach the Spice Islands, and the first man to make the round-the-world voyage. This feat was rewarded by Charles I with a coat of arms and the legend Primus circumdedisti me.
He participated in the Junta de Badajoz-Elvas (1524), for which he drew up a report in favour of the legitimate Spanish possession of the Moluccas.
In August 1526 he died during another expedition to the Spice Islands, led by García Jofre de Loaysa. A few days earlier he had made a will.

Following the joint creation of the CEU Elcano International Chair. First Round-the-World Tour by the Spanish Navy and CEU San Pablo University as part of the celebrations of 5th Centenary of the expedition of the first round-the-world tour by Fernando de Magallanes and Juan Sebastián Elcano, the chapter in Spain of the Daughters of the American Revolution (Spain Chapter) is pleased to announce the Daughters of the American Revolution Spain Chapter – CEU Elcano International Chair Award.
The Association Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) was founded in 1890 to perpetuate the memory of those who fought for pro-independence in the American War of Independence. During these 130 years we have maintained the established guidelines of a non-political, non-profit association, with three objectives: to preserve our history, promote education and encourage patriotism. We currently have 193,000 members worldwide with one common denominator: we all have a patriot in our family tree who fought or helped in the War of Independence.
It is our wish to seek out Spanish descendants of those soldiers and citizens who fought or helped in our War of Independence.
The inclusion of the United States among the countries invited to participate in the commemoration of the 5th Centenary of the Magellan-Elcano Expedition may be surprising, given that during their voyage, the ships of that navy never touched port in any US territory. The reason for the American involvement is the fact that we are the Administrators of the Guam territory since the Spanish-American War in 1898, an island discovered by the Magellan-Elcano expedition during its voyage in the Pacific Ocean.

It is an inter-university and international Chair. It is a proposal that is open to the public, to which an attempt will be made to transmit the consequences that the expedition had for the cultural and geographical evolution of humanity.
Created as part of the 5th Centenary with the sponsorship from Mapfre, it aims to be a reference in the studies around the Magellan-Elcano expedition, a permanent forum for study, reflection and knowledge transfer that will go beyond the temporal space of the Centenary.
