Last July, our colleague and friend Víctor Carrer lost his life a few hours before defending his doctoral thesis work.

As a tribute, their thesis directors will present his thesis in the Faculty of Pharmacy in a reduced format and the members of the thesis committee will comment his contributions in the scientific field. Later in the IQAC will be established the Annual Extraordinary Doctorate Award "Víctor Carrer"
