The Catalonia Laboratory, an initiative promoted by the Government of Catalonia and the i2CAT Foundation, closes the academic year with its annual meeting on Friday, July 5, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., at the Social Hub of the Bofill Foundation in Barcelona.

Nearly 400 people have participated in the six sessions of the Time of Collaborations cycle held over the last year, where they have shared projects and initiatives of digital social transformation and have highlighted the innovative capacity of the joint work of the quadruple helix: civil society, administration, academia and the business world.

The conference on July 5 is open to both participants from previous sessions and people interested in learning about the Catalonia Laboratory. Attendees will be able to discover the operation of the new digital management, dynamization and networking platform designed with the free software Decidim.
