Great Success of IAUP semi-annual meeting in Spain
With record attendance for a semi-annual meeting and an excellent program, including two panel sessions, the Spain meeting held at the University of Alcalá, was a resounding success. Dr. Fernando Galván, Rector of the host institution was a very gracious and elegant host, keeping our group punctual to all activities. The networking was rich and participants had lively discussions both during the business meetings –with very important decisions regarding the future of the IAUP- and during the periods assigned for the panel sessions.
