Within the series "From Dictatorship to Democracy", coordinated by the professor of contemporary history at the UAB Carme Molinero, the Faculty of Arts & Humanities will host the colloquium "Nusos opositors en la lluita contra la dictadura" [Opposition knots in the fight against the dictatorship]. The various papers of the conference will address the role of the anti-Franco opposition in the delegitimisation, questioning and crisis of Francoism, an activism that made it impossible to maintain the dictatorship. The colloquium is coordinated by Professor Molinero and Pere Ysàs, professor of contemporary history at the UAB, and will feature a series of presentations on the spaces of dissidence during the dictatorship, the role of communists and the “revolutionary left” in the democratic struggle, the renewal of nationalism, the reconstruction of the PSOE and anti-Francoist cultural expressions. The series is part of “Spain in Freedom. 50 Years”, a set of activities organised by the Spanish government throughout 2025 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the death of dictator Francisco Franco and the beginning of the transition to a democratic regime.

Wednesday:
From 5 to 7 May the UAB Faculty of Science will host "Quantum Days at the UAB" (Q-UAB Days), an event organised as part of the United Nations' International Year of Quantum Science and Technology which will bring together renowned researchers and students to explore the latest advances and real-life applications of quantum science.
The event is co-organised by the UAB, the IMB-CNM and the ICMAB, in collaboration with researchers from the ICN2 and the IFAE. It is distributed into three sessions, each taking place from 12 noon to 2:30 p.m. at the Sala d'Actes of the Faculty of Science.
Each session will be dedicated to a specific area of quantum science and technology, in which the most recent developments and cutting-edge discoveries will be discussed: Quantum information and Detection on 5 May, Quantum Light and Matter on 6 May and Quantum Chips on 7 May. Each day will conclude with an interactive colloquium in which attendees will be able to engage with researchers, ask questions and discuss the future of quantum technologies.
