Barcelona celebrates science in the city

In recognition of the fact that Barcelona has become an international hub for science research, experimentation and knowledge, the city council has organised the first Biennal Ciutat i Ciència (City and Science Biennial).

For five days, the Catalan capital will host over 140 free activities at a wide range of venues across the city giving the public the chance to explore current themes in scientific research as well as get to know academics, professors and others involved in projects in Barcelona.
