The Parc Científic de Barcelona (PCB, Barcelona Science Park) will participate in the 11th edition of Science Week, held from 10 to 19 November around Catalonia and this year devoted to nutrition in the XXI century. Among the more than 400 events included in this initiative, we highlight the open days entitled “What is the Parc Científic de Barcelona? What is research all about?” which will be held on 14 and 16 November. In addition, Science Week will include exhibitions, round tables, and scientific film and video sessions, which will be held in the Universitat de Barcelona (UB, University of Barcelona) and will involve other organizations at the PCB.
