University-Business Forum
Every year in May, UPC Manresa organizes a fair with stands from companies, professional associations, university groups, and services aimed at students who want to start working.
In parallel, workshops and talks are held on the days leading up to or on the day of the fair itself to help students prepare for the fair and get to know the companies or university services better.
Companies and professional associations that wish to participate must register in advance.
The objective of this event is to facilitate the first contact between companies and students.
University-Business Forum Coffee
In autumn, a meeting takes place with local companies and institutions, structured around a topic of common interest, with the aim of showing how they can connect with the university and strengthen collaboration.
The location of the Forum Coffee changes every year, seeking unique spaces where participants can have breakfast together and create an appropriate atmosphere to facilitate interesting meetings and conversations.
This meeting can take the format of a round table, presentations, talks, etc., and showcases examples of collaboration.
