The need to strengthen links between the universities and the business world is the driving force behind experiences such as b_TEC or the Besòs Inter-university Campus –an area of 150,000 page 8 m2 destined to education, research, enterprise and innovation activities. The b_TEC model is a type of cluster which has already been successfully developed in the UK, barcelona France, the US and other northern European countries, territories where scientific and technological communities come together with universities and companies in order to develop bioregion activities focused on the mainstays of knowledge. The so-called cities of knowledge are the paradigm of a local and international work network, where one can work and live and which is characterised by its interdisciplinary nature. The b_TEC model’s knowledge mainstays are energy, water, mobility and architecture, urbanism page 9 and sustainable building. As well as the strategic importance of a space like b_TEC, from an economic point of view, it was necessary to select a space to develop a project of these characteristics: an area barcelona traditionally rejected within the municipal boundaries of Barcelona and Sant Adrià de Besòs, in the world adjacent to the Fórum. This is, therefore, an opportunity that must be taken advantage of to socially transform and economically develop a new urban area and to strengthen relations between the university and the city. A project that will soon become a reality, with the backing of the Barcelona and Sant Adrià councils, with the drive of the rest of the administrations, i.e. the Catalan Regional Government, the Barcelona District Council, the Barcelona Corporation or the State Government page 13 page 16 and the support of the Duty-free Area Consortium and the Metropolitan Transport Entity. barcelona barcelona enterprises port page 17 barcelona 22@ “Spiralling Tower, b_Tec”. barcelona b_tec barcelona b_tec besos campus: university and city, the driving Who is participating in b_TEC or the This latter building, designed by Zaha The existence of this scientific and forces of social transformation Besòs Inter-University Consortium?

  • One Hundred Years of Science Policy and the Institute of Catalan Studies
    CONEIXEMENT I SOCIETAT 14 ARTICLES ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SCIENCE POLICY AND THE INSTITUTE OF CATALAN STUDIES Josep M. Camarasa* and Antoni Roca i Rosell** The Institute of Catalan Studies (Institut d’Estudis Catalans, henceforth the IEC) was founded in 1907 by Enric Prat de la Riba with the aim of promoting scientific policy. The underlying rationale was that an institute promoting high culture would reinforce Catalonia’s aspirations for political autonomy. Nonetheless, in addition to this original aim, the IEC has acquired a considerable degree of functional autonomy, indicating preferred directions for research and the dissemination of knowledge, and contributing greatly to the development of a Catalan scientific community. The autonomy of the IEC was unrestricted during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera (1923-1930), although it received no public funding of any kind. During the Second Republic –covering the years 1931 to 1939 and including the Civil War– the IEC had premises in the Casa de Convalescència (attached to the old Hospital de la Santa Creu). During the Franco dictatorship, the IEC was taken to be defunct, although it was never, in fact, explicitly closed down, and continued to operate in semi-clandestine form. In 1963, Òmnium Cultural (a body promoting Catalan identity, culture and language), granted the IEC premises in the Palau Dalmases. The IEC thus acquired a certain public presence that enabled it to support the activities implemented by its subsidiary societies. In 1976, the IEC was publicly recognised by the governments of Catalonia and of Spain. In recent decades, in an academic context that is very different from that existing in the opening decades of the 20th century and against a very different political background, the IEC has battled to carve out a niche for itself in the Catalan research sector.
