The conference venue is the Cosmocaixa Museum, which offers its visitors a greater insight into the world of science. The museum building is just as fascinating as its contents. Cosmocaixa is a beautiful example of modernista architecture, designed and built between 1904 and 1909 by Josep Domènech i Estapà. The modern extension carried out in 2004 highlighted the value of the century-old building while placing it in a new context. The building is just a few steps walk from the UOC main building, where the Welcome Party will be held.
