This week rector Alfonso Méndiz met some of the members of the men's handball team that will compete next week in the Spanish University Championship in Murcia, organised by the Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia (UCAM).

This will be the first time in the history of our University that a team from UIC Barcelona will participate in the national championship, having obtained the silver medal in the CCU22. This is the second silver and fourth consecutive medal in the Catalonia University Championships.

On 3 and 4 May they will face the universities of Zaragoza, Polytechnic of Madrid and the host, UCAM in Murcia. If they are ranked top of their group, they will go on to the semi-finals and the final on Thursday 5 May. 

The Rector wished the students luck and gave each of them a gift pack for their trip.
