The activities held at IQS during the week of 31 March featured great student participation, further solidifying a diverse programme that has included events from live concerts to sports competitions and networking events for Alumni. These initiatives have been promoted by different student committees with support from Student & Alumni Life, AIQS, and collaboration by IQS faculty and staff who played a key role in implementing the successful activities.
IQS celebrates a week full of student activities featuring great participation
One of the highlights of the week was the installation of a grand piano in front of the campus cafeteria, where students could enjoy live music in a relaxed atmosphere. Some students even became motivated to accompany the melodies by singing along, producing memorable moments.
The sports event, now the tenth edition at Can Caralleu, was another great attraction that featured widespread participation. Tournaments were held in various sports, including six teams that signed up for 3×3 basketball, five for futsal, sixteen in 7-a-side football, sixteen pairs in paddle tennis, three students in women’s tennis, four in men’s tennis, and seven teams in volleyball. More than 200 students participated, fostering healthy competition and a team spirit.
In addition, the Alumni Welcome Party has become a leading networking event for final-year undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students. Held at the Fábrica Moritz in Barcelona, it enabled attendees to discover the opportunities offered by the AIQS Association after graduation. In addition, during the evening, the Father Salvador Gil Awards were presented to the best Master Theses from academic year 2023-24 and a drawing was held for tickets to Primavera Sound, attracting vast participation.
The sixth edition of the online chess tournament brought together students, faculty, and staff interested in strategy and logical thinking, fostering a space for learning and intellectual challenges.
