Inditex and the University of Barcelona have set up the UB-Inditex Chair of Professional Integration of People with Intellectual Disabilities, with the aim of promoting training programmes for people with intellectual disabilities and fostering research into the social and labour inclusion of this group.

The UB-Inditex Chair is affiliated to the UB’s Faculty of Psychology and is led by Maria Carbó, lecturer in the Department of Cognition, Development and Educational Psychology at the centre, who states that “this Chair will have a significant impact on the evolution of the social model that has defined intellectual disability throughout history”. “It will be a determining action to advance towards inclusion and will contribute to the evolution of the models of care for this group in our country”, she adds.
