AmicsUAB has officially been declared an Entity of Public Utility, an institutional recognition that certifies the work the organization has been carrying out for years in service of the university community and society as a whole. This distinction, granted by the Administration after a rigorous evaluation process, confirms that AmicsUAB’s activity meets demanding standards of transparency, social impact, public interest, and responsible management.
The declaration of public utility is not merely a legal classification; it is also a validation of the social value of the AmicsUAB project and of its role as a bridge between the Autonomous University of Barcelona and its wider environment. This recognition highlights that the initiatives promoted by the organization effectively contribute to social, cultural, and educational development, and that they do so from an open, participatory perspective oriented toward the common good.
This new status also entails a number of important advantages both for the organization and for the individuals and institutions that collaborate with it. From an institutional standpoint, it consolidates AmicsUAB’s credibility, strengthens public trust, and facilitates the creation of new partnerships with social, cultural, and economic stakeholders. At the same time, it represents an even stronger commitment to transparency, accountability, and quality management—core principles that form an essential part of the organization’s identity.
For individual and corporate supporters, this declaration also brings tax benefits linked to financial contributions made to officially recognized public-utility entities. This framework encourages social participation and philanthropy, making it easier for more people and organizations to contribute to projects with real impact.
This recognition comes at a particularly significant moment for AmicsUAB, which continues working to strengthen the bonds between the university and society, promote activities that generate shared knowledge, and foster initiatives that have a positive impact on the community. The declaration of public utility reinforces this mission and consolidates the path taken so far.
Soon, the AmicsUAB website will include a new dedicated section focused on this new stage. In this space, interested visitors will be able to find detailed information about what this recognition entails and discover new ways to collaborate with the organization and support its work.
With this milestone, AmicsUAB reaffirms its commitment to the university community, to knowledge as a driver of progress, and to a more connected, participatory, and cohesive society.
