Barcelona, a city of science

Grants and prizes

Various calls for grants, subsidies and prizes give impetus to urban and international research to meet the challenges of this century.

Research projects

Through programmes, Barcelona Science and Innovation promotes research projects and scientific culture.

Citizen science

Science can do a lot for you, but you can also do a lot for it. Get involved in scientific research and generate new knowledge.

Strategic plan for science and innovation

Publications

A selection of free and accessible documents published by Barcelona Science and Innovation.

Gender and science

To be a city of science, Barcelona must also become more feminist. Only in this way will it be able to reduce the historical inequalities between men and women in this field and combat the so-called "masculinised academic culture".
