in pictures
We have looked through our drawers and trawled our servers, folders and digital resources to bring you a selection of images from the 15-year history of the Network University. We have found photographs from back when digital cameras were anything but the norm (a mere 15 years ago!) and made them available for you to view.
However, our pictures are only a small part of this collection. Do you have photos of the first gathering in Mataro or of your graduation ceremony? You can now share them with the UOC community by joining our Flickr group and sending them to us.
