UIC Barcelona is hosting the first Conference on the phenomenology of the body and pain analysis

On 19 and 20 November the "First Conference on the phenomenology of the body and pain analysis" was held at UIC Barcelona in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, with participation from specialists from Argentina, Mexico, and Portugal. At a national level, specialists from Madrid and Barcelona were also present. 

The aim of the conference was to undertake an interdisciplinary project with the aim of "learning to see pain" and "learning to correctly conceptualise pain". Professionals and specialists from the areas of medicine, nursing and philosophy participated in the various seminars and round tables. The originality of this approach was welcomed by the attendees. This is the first result of a project funded by the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality which is led by CSIC and also receives support from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and the Sarx group in the Faculty of Humanities at UIC Barcelona.
