Rental of Spaces 

The Faculty of Geography and History provides spaces for events and activities within its facilities.

Before making a reservation, you must check availability for the requested dates, specifying the required characteristics of the space (type, capacity, specific needs, etc.). If you wish, you can request a visit to the facilities before confirming your reservation. 

The Centre Administration will respond in writing to all requests, confirm the reservation, and inform about any fees to be paid. Confirmed reservations depend on availability according to the calendar and timetable. Priority is always given to institutional and academic events organised by the university and its units, before requests from external institutions or entities.

Users must comply with current health and safety regulations, particularly regarding room capacity, emergency exits, and fire safety, and assume full responsibility for any breaches.

Dangerous, explosive, flammable, or unhealthy materials, or any objects blocking exits or access, are strictly prohibited. 

Users are responsible for ensuring attendees comply with safety rules. 

Access control of attendees is the user’s responsibility.
