WHAT IS IT?
Important note
The current situation resulting from the Covid-19 has led us to rethink the best way to optimise Uhinak and guarantee that it is held in the best conditions for the congress participants. For this reason, we have designed a new format that facilitates its celebration with the maximum security guarantees and that has as main characteristic the proposal of a hybrid event, face to face for the speakers and virtual for the attendees.
