«Biennial City and Science» at the CCCB
Discussions, dialogues, conferences and family activities
Debate
What are the limits of scientific progress? How can we achieve that everything that is publicly invested in science serves for progress and social transformation? The CCCB is one of the headquarters of the 'Biennal Ciutat i Ciència' and from 7 to 11 February hosts an extensive program of free activities to facilitate the dissemination of scientific knowledge to bring it closer to the citizenship.
