COVID-19 updates

In spite of the general uncertainty caused by the spread of the COVID-19  and the current closure of Spanish universities, UPF is working for the Barcelona International Summer School to take place as planned. Spain is taking extreme measures to contain the pandemia and we are looking forward for the  situation to improve on time. The safety of the Summer School participants, instructors, and staff are of the foremost importance and  UPF information on the COVID-19 is permanently updated on the university website.

As other scenarios cannot be discarded depending on the evolution of the situation, UPF is at this moment working on alternative plans, including a refund policy should the situation affect students ability of participating in the program. Updated  assessments will be posted in this program website and timely sent via email to registered and interested students.
