On 9 and 10 July, UIC Barcelona will host the LINC Conference, bringing together headteachers, coordinators and upper secondary careers advisers from institutions with shared philosophies to strengthen the relationship between secondary schools and universities.

The initiative, organised by the Admissions Directorate, will combine institutional sessions, academic presentations, interactive workshops and tours of the Barcelona and Sant Cugat campuses.

The aim of the conference is to provide a platform for dialogue and collaboration, enabling participants to share experiences, identify the needs of schools and learn about new initiatives designed to bring value to the educational community.
