  • Economic aid
  • Academic guidance
  • Administrative relocation support

Given the difficulties for these people to travel to the UAB, a letter to the president of Spain was written to request that they facilitate the necessary actions for the arrival of these students, in the same way as was done with students from other conflict zones.
