The University of Barcelona, through the Institute of Neurosciences and the support from the Scientific Culture Unit, is organizing the Neuroart Contest. The activity aims to encourage students to create artistic representations of the knowledge they have on the structure, functions and plasticity of the nervous system. The jury will evaluate the artistic part and the rigour of the scientific content in each project. The schools that want to take part in the contest have to register before September 29, via an online form which is available in the website.

The University of Barcelona, through the Institute of Neurosciences and the support from the Scientific Culture Unit, is organizing the Neuroart Contest. The activity aims to encourage students to create artistic representations of the knowledge they have on the structure, functions and plasticity of the nervous system. The jury will evaluate the artistic part and the rigour of the scientific content in each project. The schools that want to take part in the contest have to register before September 29, via an online form which is available in the website.

In the first stage, some researchers from the Institute of Neurosciences will give a lecture to the participating centers so that the students understand how the nervous system works and which structure it has. After this session, each school will have to work in groups, on the creation of artistic representations of the taught concepts and, among the ideas and projects that come out, they will choose a group to represent the class in the finals. Last, the chosen groups will show and talk about their work at the University of Barcelona, and the winners will be chosen under different categories.
