Three pillars of society

Talks and training sessions

We train university students who are committed to society and open to proposing scientific or social topics. We have addressed career opportunities, the Epstein-Barr virus, and multiple sclerosis, among other topics, with speakers who share their experience and research. Send us your proposal.

Participation in international forums

We want to respond to students' interest in sustainable development and international cooperation by offering networking opportunities and promoting concrete actions based on science to address the challenges of the 2030 Agenda.

Mission to Ethiopia

Every summer we travel to Ethiopia to work at three homes run by Mother Teresa of Calcutta. There we help with whatever is needed: from teaching and playing with children, accompanying mothers with babies, to caring for sick people.
