The UAB will host the Creathon 2026 organised by the ECIU, the UAB's European alliance, which will include the participation of some fifty international students from different disciplines, enrolled in one of the twelve universities that make up the alliance. For three days, participants will work together on finding innovative solutions for issues related to heritage and urban and rural development in Catalonia.

The creathon will begin on Tuesday 5 May at the Faculty of Education with an institutional welcome speech by UAB Rector Javier Lafuente, who will be accompanied by Marta Bertran, dean of the faculty, and Mireia Galí, institutional coordinator of the ECIU at the UAB.

This edition, entitled "Building Inclusive Futures: Care, Community and Mobility", focuses on social inclusion, community cohesion, sustainable mobility, and heritage in urban and rural environments in Catalonia. Participants will address two major challenges: one in a rural context, linked to the heritage of Pallars Jussà and Noguera, and one in an urban context, focused on the relationship between the UAB campus and its natural and urban environment.

The programme combines working sessions that will take place at the UAB and field work activities. Field visits are programmed for Wednesday 6 May to both rural environments of the Pyrenees and to the urban town of Cerdanyola del Vallès, in which the teams will meet local and institutional actors. The creathon will end on Thursday 7 May with the public presentation of the prototypes created by the teams at the COMTEC Centre, located at the Library of Communication and General Newspaper Archives.

The Computer Vision Centre organises a new "CVC Open Day" on 7 May at 11:00 a.m. Once a year, the CVC wants to introduce the world of computer vision and artificial intelligence through an immersive and interactive experience, as well as an educational and understandable one.

Visitors will be able to see the centre's facilities and laboratories to discover how research is done, learn about the corresponding lines of research through innovative and experimental technological demonstrations, discover the usefulness of computer vision in different sectors of the field, and opt for new professional training opportunities (thesis projects, internships, master's and doctorates, among others) through meetings with teaching staff and researchers. These activities are a way to offer a practical experience in the fields of science and technology.

The day will offer two shifts: a morning shift, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and an afternoon shift, from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. This is a free event, but with limited capacity. To attend, you must register in advance through this form. Depending on the total number of attendees at the event, there is the possibility of extending the time slot of the day.
