During the week, organised by the Vice-Rector's Office for Cooperation, Sustainable Development and Healthy Campuses, other figures from the world of health and sport will also participate, such as water polo player Victor Gutiérrez Santiago, a UC3M alumnus, and former basketball player Juan Antonio Corbalán.
Activities will also be carried out to promote healthy habits related to nutrition, sport activity, movement, body posture, mental health and the risks of smoking and medicinal plants, among others. In addition, there will be a video and photo contest on this theme.
