In October 2021, the Sitges CB promoted the Psicothon as part of its “F5 Sitges Refreshing MICE” program, organized by the University of Barcelona and the Event Management Institute, a research “marathon” where young psychologists competed to create valuable scientific content for the MICE world. From among the many interesting studies that emerged, we would like to highlight the one carried out by Elisabeth Casas Forteza-Rey, NEURODIVERGENTS AND EVENTS… THAT HURT.
