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.
