UABDivulga - Barcelona recerca i innovació

Wednesday:

The CVC's Open Days are aimed directly to university students and the public in general as a way to share with other the activities conducted at the CVC and the work done in the research centre. The visit is aimed at showing what the computer vision centre is and what sectors it can benefit, as well as helping the public discover its main projects and lines of research, experience how research is conducted "live", and discover the academic and professional opportunities available at the centre (TFGs, work placements, master's degrees, PhD programmes, etc.).

The meeting will include a visit to the CVC's facilities, with different demonstrations of interactive technologies.

Wednesday:

Under the framework of the 17th Science Festival, a conference will be held on various topics related to greenhouses, to reflect on their role from a social, architectural and productive vision in urban environments. Participating in the conference will be Xavier Gabarrell i Durany, vice-rector for Campus and Sustainability, and researcher at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA-UAB) and the Department of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering of the UAB; and Verónica Arcas Pilz, researcher at ICTA-UAB.

The Ciutadella Hivernacle will also offer the exhibition entitled “Màquina Climàtica”, on display until 8 December. The exhibition plays with the simile of the warming effect produced by the greenhouse itself and the so-called greenhouse effect that makes life on Earth possible. It shows how human activity is accentuating this effect and will go through the history and evolution of greenhouses, as well as take a look at the productive future of these facilities. Sostenipra-ICTA-UAB has provided the content of the exhibition and the plants.
