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.
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.

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

Contributing to personal and professional development

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.
