UPF aims to strengthen relations with the world of culture by organizing networks that facilitate contact between members of the university community and society as a whole and the country's main cultural institutions that, at the same time, enable UPF to become an organization that learns from others and shares the knowledge of others, while creating creative intersections, establishing new synergies and common strategies.
