Given the evolution of the pandemic in Catalonia, and in accordance with the latest provisions adopted by PROCICAT, ESCI-UPF will maintain for its teaching activities the same face-to-face restrictions than at the end of the first term. That is, the second term will begin virtually for classes that take place in conventional spaces, and only the practical sessions that take place in technical spaces, in these cases, with extreme vigilance and protection measures. Libraries will offer the service with the opening hours specified on the website of the UPF.

These measures will be maintained throughout the month of January. As soon as conditions allow, and always in accordance with what is established by the health and university authorities, we will gradually return to the hybrid teaching model that ESCI-UPF has designed in the contingency plan for the entire 2020-2021 academic year.

We want to reiterate a call for individual and collective responsibility in this phase of the pandemic. University officials have taken all measures to make ESCI-UPF a safe space; however, these measures are of little use if each and every one of us does not always maintain hygiene and distance measures everywhere and if we do not make proper use of the mask when we go there to carry out any of the permitted activities.
