In a brief meeting on the Barcelona Campus, Juan Miguel Carmona, CEO of Lunet Facility Services, presented the donation to the rector, Alfonso Méndiz on behalf of the University. As he presented the donation, Carmona emphasised “what a privilege it is for the Maria Pou y Lunet Foundation to renew its aid to UIC Barcelona students in special situations.”

On behalf of UIC Barcelona, the rector thanked the Foundation and highlighted “the commitment” that Lunet Facility Services has always shown to the University project. “The role of businesses in society,” the rector said, “goes beyond an income statement. With this gesture, the Foundation and Lunet are an example of the backbone role that an organisation can provide for people.”

Since its inception, Lunet’s mission is that of an organisation committed to people, hallmark validated by one of its solidarity initiatives, Lunet Solidario.

Over the past five years, numerous students, such as Nadia, who is studying Journalism, or Jamal, who is studying Dentistry, have benefitted from this grant.
