Who we are

About us

About us
We connect the university with society through knowledge, culture, debate, and people.

AmicsUAB is a nonprofit organization of public interest affiliated with the Autonomous University of Barcelona that works to strengthen the relationship between the university and society. Since its founding in 1982, the association has sought to be a meeting place open to anyone who shares an interest in knowledge, culture, debate, and the university community.

AmicsUAB is made up of people connected to the UAB, professionals from various fields, and citizens who wish to maintain their connection with the university and help spread knowledge beyond the campus.

AmicsUAB is headquartered in the Torre Vila-Puig, a unique space that is part of the university’s history. To learn more about our headquarters, we invite you to visit the Torre Vila-Puig Exhibition. You can access it via the following link: Exposición Torre Vila-Puig.

Our mission

AmicsUAB’s mission is to connect the university with society. We do this by organizing cultural, social, and educational activities that foster knowledge, dialogue, cooperation, and a commitment to the community. We work to ensure that the UAB extends its reach beyond the classroom and that university knowledge reaches a broad, diverse audience eager to learn, share, and participate.

Our goals

Spreading Knowledge
Bringing the knowledge generated at the UAB to the wider community through conferences, activities, meetings, and forums for reflection.

Building Community
Fostering relationships among people connected to the UAB, professionals, institutions, and social actors.

Promoting University Values
Encouraging cooperation, social responsibility, critical thinking, and a commitment to society.

Fostering culture and debate
Organizing activities that encourage reflection on current issues from an open, pluralistic, and informed perspective.

Contributing to personal and professional development
Providing opportunities for training, networking, and exchange that help people continue learning throughout their lives.

How do we do it?

AmicsUAB organizes activities and projects that connect people, knowledge, and institutions. Through conferences, workshops, professional gatherings, cultural activities, and networking events, we facilitate connections between people from different fields and promote new opportunities for collaboration.

We also promote initiatives such as NEXE AmicsUAB, which allow us to share expert knowledge and create spaces for conversation on topics of social, cultural, scientific, and professional interest.
