In the series of Events that COMIUCAP has been organizing since (at least) 2013, the Symposium on «Refacing Humanity After the Pandemic: Questions, Challenges and Opportunities» (December 7-10, 2021) stands out for the fact that it was realized entirely online and brought together Scholars and Audiences from all the Regions of our global network.
