AmicsUAB Awards 2025

On 20 November, the AmicsUAB association will be holding the Premis AmicsUAB 2025 awards ceremony. These awards are conferred onto both outstanding persons and entities for their professional career, commitment and contributions to the university and social fields.

The event will be presided by Javier Lafuente, rector of the UAB; Tània Nadal, president of the UAB Board of Trustees; and Susanna Baqué, president of the AmicsUAB. The posthumous award for the Friends of Friends will be given to Professor Manuel Cachón, who left his mark on the UAB and in the Catalan legal field; Immaculada Vilardell, lecturer in the UAB Department of Business; Josep Maria Ganyet, lecturer at the UPF and expert in artificial intelligence; and Maria Jesús Espuny, UAB Ombudsperson. The UAB European Documentation Centre will also be given the Collective Award, and Daniel Rico, current director of the UAB Department of Art and Musicology, will be awarded the Friend of Libraries Award.

The traditional Massana Award also will be presented. This artistic distinction unites art and social commitment through a work of art created especially for the event. The evening will close with a performance by the UAB Chamber Choir.

The event has limited capacity. Prior registration is required and a confirmation of attendance will be sent.
