understand how it is being constructed nowadays. Our focus is to
approach questions such as: How do we do/ communicate Science, immediate
Science, Open Access, Intellectual Property, Bioethics, Cultural
Heritage, among others.
The Organizing Committee is preparing a
stimulating programme which will bring experts from different fields
covering a wide range of topics from Social Sciences, Arts and
Humanities to Science, Technology and Medicine and which will offer a
variety of social activities.
