The Faculty of Psychology pays homage to Cèsar Coll

The ceremony, attended by a hundred people, was presented and chaired by the coordinator of the doctoral degree in Psychology of Education, Marta Gràcia. Among the attendants was the rector of the UB, Joan Guàrdia, who is also a professor at the Faculty of Psychology. The dean of the Faculty, Antonio Solanas, and the coordinator of the interuniversity master’s degree in Psychology of Education, Anna Engel, also attended the ceremony.
