The IX UB Science Fair took place from May 12-13, 2023 at the Edifici Històric of the Universitat de Barcelona (585, Gran Vía de las Corts Catalanes, Barcelona, 08007).
The Science Fair is an event in which the University of Barcelona opens its doors to the public to make accessible, innovatively and excitingly, the research it carries out. The value of this activity is based on the scientific rigor of the proposal, since it is the research groups themselves who propose and elaborate, in collaboration with the Scientific Culture and Innovation Unit (UCC+I) of the institution, the workshops held there.
