END OF TERM SGA BCN STUDENT CHAPTER PARTY

The first END OF TERM PARTY of the SGA Barcelona Student Chapter took place on Friday July 19th at the Faculty of Geology (Universitat de Barcelona). This event consisted of four sessions of 10-minute talks in which some of the Student Chapter members explained their current research topics in English. The speakers performing the talks were 3rd and 4th year pre-graduate students of  Geology and PhD students. The first session started at 10 am and the last finished at about 5 pm, including a coffee break and the lunch break. The academic activity ended in an evening party in the terrace of the Faculty, with nice music, fresh drinks, such as the impressively delicious variety of craft beers sponsored by Raul Benages (BEVIRRA) or the best caipirinhas ever prepared in Barcelona by the advisor Joaquín Proenza, soft drinks and snacks. Well received by professors and proved to be very positive for the students, the activity was an absolute success. You can see some pictures of the party here.
