The City Council presented its Barcelona Science Plan 2020-2023 with €4 million in funds to continue promoting research and knowledge in the city through 15 goals and 51 specific measures.

The main focal points that will guide roll-out of the plan are based on boosting the international projection of university and science institutions in Barcelona in order to generate and consolidate alliances; earmarking specific funding for research into innovative solutions that have an impact on society; bridging the gap between science and society and fostering scientific vocation; and incentivising the creative links among art, science and technology.

The Scientific Advisory Board and the Municipal Advisory Council on Universities participated in drafting the plan and will be the independent bodies overseeing its execution.

This plan extends the Barcelona Science Plan promoted in the previous term.
