The Universitat Internacional de Catalunya is a result of a project which began over 25 years ago and which has been promoted by individuals and supported by the Fundación Familiar Catalana. The COU Fert and the INEDE, among others, are the direct predecessors of the university as it currently stands.
This dynamic background, together with the interest of alumni, led to the establishment of the UIC Alumni and Friends Association (AAAA). Founded in July 2000, this non-profit association works to strengthen solidarity among those who contribute to the university’s growth on a social, cultural and scientific level.
