On Friday, 7 October, the Sant Cugat Campus hosted the 1st edition of the UIC PhD Day: Health Sciences, promoted by the Doctoral School. Aimed at doctoral, master’s degree, postgraduate and final year undergraduate students of the University, the scientific day made known the ten lines of research under the Doctoral Programme in Health Sciences. The heads of each line of research did this by giving an informative briefing that was followed by the presentation, in oral or poster format, of the one of their doctoral student’s research project.
