When it comes to talk about science, entrepreneurship and design together, it seems complicated. But what if not? The three fields experienced recent evolutions in the way we practice it. Most important; they are based on a common ground: transdisciplinarity. Knowledge and know-how have not to be hampered by dogmatism, divided between disciplines, separated into silos.
After, France and Japan, BeyondLab is launching in Spain in Barcelona to help solving this issue. So far we have already organized more than 50 events, gathering more than 1300 people and roughly 100 projects. We are happy to announce our first event in Catalunya to introduce you our dynamic. The event will help you to:
  • Know more about our philosophy, actions and the best way to be involved in it;
  • Discover innovatives, and high potential, projects at the intersection between science, entrepreneurship and design;
  • Meet talented people with different backgrounds but a common desire to go further.
