Answer

What role could the University of the Balearic Islands play in the monastery project?

The University of the Balearic Islands could support research, inventory work, digitization and conservation planning. That would be especially useful because the monastery holds more than 1,000 catalogued objects, including textiles and embroidered pieces that need specialist care. Academic cooperation could also help turn the site into a controlled educational space rather than a purely commercial one.
