ICTA-UAB Summer Day

We are glad to invite you to the ICTA-UAB Summer Day 2023. Although the final programme is not yet closed, we would like you to save the date to attend this event, which will be a great opportunity to give visibility to the initiatives launched in the framework of the María de Maeztu programme.

It will be a great occasion to introduce PhD and post-doctoral researchers working on the five Societal Challenges, and to foster social gathering. The event is open to all members of the ICTA-UAB community, and it will be followed by a collective summer lunch and social activities. Details of the programme will be announced in the coming days
