It will be presided by UAB Rector, Margarita Arboix, and the faculty's Dean, Laura Feliu. Sponsoring the UAB's latest honorary doctor will be Joan Subirats, chair professor of the Department of Political Science and Public Law. Also, the Social Sciences Library will host an exhibition of his most important bibliography in the display cabinets of floor 0, as well a complementary webpage.
