The Barcelona Science Park and the Caixa Catalunya Social Programme organize the 8th Annual “Live Research” Fair

The 8th Annual "Live Research" Fair, organized by the Barcelona Science Park (PCB) and the Caixa Catalunya Social Programme, will be opened next Tuesday April 20 at 1 p.m. The objective of this event is to show the public the projects that researchers from some of the main research centers and institutes of Barcelona are currently carrying out and provide information on the scientific methodology used. To this end, each stand will present an enigma which attendees will have to resolve by means of experimenting and the use of laboratory tools that the scientists themselves will bring to the Pedrera of Caixa Catalunya.


The 8th annual fair presents projects from many different fields, including regenerative medicine, evolutionary biology, physics, nanotechnology, tissue engineering, genomics and biomedicine, amongst others. Attendees will be able to fabricate a bone with biomaterials, detect DNA mutations, discover the properties of water at a nanometric level and perform calculations to determine the probabilities of an asteroid hitting the Earth, amongst other activities.

During the inauguration, the Caixa Catalunya and the PCB will also deliver the Research in Secondary Schools Awards, aimed towards students who obtained scholarships from the social programme of this organization and who carried out their projects with the support of PCB researchers who, in addition to providing their guidance and advice, offered them the opportunity to conduct real practice in their laboratories.

The fair is open to all publics on April 20-22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. There is no entrance fee. For groups larger than 10 people, reservations should be made in advance by calling 902 400 973.
