On October 5 from 10:00 to 14:30 h comes a new edition of the Open Day of the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) in which researchers will explain firsthand what they do, how they do it and where they do it. The different research centers that are part of the PRBB will offer a wide range of free activities for the whole family. On Saturday morning, visitors will be able to learn about science from its protagonists with guided tours. We have prepared several routes that will simultaneously tour the building and visit different laboratories. This year, as a novelty, visitors will be able to choose the route beforehand. In addition, there will be two routes with special themes, two routes available in English and a historical route to learn about the history of the PRBB and its infrastructure.
