The conference aims to highlight the trajectory of feminism at the University of Barcelona, from a historical, present and future perspective. They take place on April 16 and 17, 2026 in the Historic Building. With the aim of strengthening collective and transversal work, we want to promote the active participation of the equality committees of faculties and centres in the design, organization and development of the conferences. 

The program includes lectures, round tables and cultural activities, with the participation of research groups, faculty, students, and related services and entities such as the CRAI.  A call for papers and the creation of an organizing committee are also planned, to collect proposals to present and organize the conference. The conferences are structured around three axes: 

  • Teaching: gender studies, master's degrees, doctorates and projects such as the international EDI degree. 
  • Research: groups, teams and gender research projects. 
  • Knowledge transfer: cultural activities and community participation actions (rock band, human tower group, etc.). 

The aim is to encourage student participation through the recognition of credits and the implementation of specific dynamics. In this sense, at the end of February a preliminary activity aimed at students is organized, aimed at preparing and coordinating their involvement in the conferences. The set of activities in which students participate is what has academic recognition.
