The Intensive Week is organised by the VIVES University of Applied Sciences. The first day of the week will be a cultural game, which aims to get students to work in teams. On the following days, there will be lectures on IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) on non-current and current assets. After the lectures, students will work in workshops in their own teams. In the afternoons, there will be a cultural programme and visits organised by VIVES. On Friday, students will prepare a presentation based on a distance learning assignment, the content of which will be to provide investors with information about the company analysed.
