Description:

The UAB Sabadell Campus is hosting the first edition of Fly & Grow Sabadell, an initiative promoted by students of the Degree in Aeronautical Management of the UAB School of Engineering which aims to bring university talent closer to the real needs of the aeronautical sector.

The event will bring together nearly 100 students and eight leading entities in the aeronautical industry, in a day designed to promote direct contact between young talent and companies, provide students with knowledge of career opportunities in the sector, and raise awareness of the needs of aeronautical companies.

Participating organisations include air and airport navigation managers ENAIRE and AENA, airline Volotea, as well as specialised training centres such as Barcelona Flight School, Hangar 10 and ITAÉREA. The event will also feature the participation of the IVAO flight simulation network and the AEAE student association.

Fly & Grow Sabadell is inspired in the experience of hte technological fair MEMEnginy. Based on this reference, the meeting adapts the model to a smaller and more specialised scale, focused specifically on the aeronautical sector as a strategic and, often, unknown branch of engineering.

The event will combine different formats and activities:

• Stands and information sessions, where companies will present their selection processes, most needed profiles and career opportunities.
• Round table with UAB alumni, in which five former UAB students currently working in the sector will share their professional experiences and answer questions.
• Flight and air traffic control (ATC) simulator, which will give attendants a hands-on experience of how the aeronautical sector works.

The meeting will be completed with a networking space designed to promote direct contact between students and company representatives in a close and informal environment, facilitating the generation of synergies and future job opportunities.

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. However, if none of the aforementioned shifts fit your availability, contact press@cvc.uab.es and indicate the times to organise a possible new group.
