The session was held in the framework of the signing of a collaboration agreement of the UAB with the Mareo LAB Education & Research Lab, a center of knowledge and innovation in sport promoted by the EF Mareo Sporting Foundation of Gijón, which among other activities promotes applied research projects in the fields of high performance and psychology, methodology, sports medicine, economics, branding and communication and other areas of science and humanities. The agreement will make it possible to establish concrete collaborations in training and research between the two institutions, which share an integral vision of sport that affects the transmission of values, the quality of life and the humanistic training of citizens. In addition, the Sports Research Institute of the UAB will be represented on the Mareo Lab’s advisory board. More information about the collaboration agreement.
