UAB SL Day

The Talent with Social Impact Conference took place on Tuesday, April 28, in the Cinema Hall at the UAB. The event brought together the award ceremony for the 9th edition of the Arcadi Oliveres Awards for the best Bachelor’s Degree Final Projects and the 7th UAB Service-Learning Conference.

This event, organized by the Autonomous Solidarity Foundation and the Autonomous University of Barcelona, with the support of the Barcelona City Council, became a space to showcase university talent with social impact. These awards highlight research projects carried out by UAB students that respond to current societal needs and contribute to global justice through the university.

The event was divided into three parts: first, a round table discussion was held; this was followed by the presentation of the two awards; and finally, an Entity Fair for service-learning projects took place.

In this news article, you will find more details about how the conference unfolded.

The sixth edition of SL Day at the UAB took place on Monday, May 26, 2025 at the Faculty of Veterinary.

The 5th SL Day (2023-2024 academic year) took place on-site on Thursday 25 April, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting at the UAB, with prior registration.

The following is the programme for this edition, which included three different activities:

• Opening roundtable (9-11 a.m.) entitled “How does the sustainability of the relationships between teaching staff and the organisations affect the quality of SL projects?”, in which organisation members and UAB teaching staff with experience in SL projects discussed the keys to understanding the importance of consolidating these relationships. The awards for the best TFGs with SL from the previous academic year were also handed out.
• SL project co-creation session (11:15 a.m.-12:45 p.m.), in which organisations and teaching staff, grouped by topics such as health or environmental sustainability, worked together to conceive and define possible SL projects, among other aspects. This provided the ideal opportunity to share knowledge and broaden contacts between organisations and teaching staff.
• Organisation fair (1-3 p.m.) for the public in the form of an outdoor exhibition. This year, tickets were requirements for the refreshments, which were given out by the organisations present at the fair after talking with the attendees.

The 4th SL Day at the UAB took place on Friday 5 May 2023, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the Faculty of Communication Studies.
