The AE-BKH Disputatio of Barcelona 2013-2016

Abstract

The Barcelona Knowledge Hub of the Academia Europaea (AE- BKH)was set up in Barcelona in 2013 as the office for the Southern European region and the Mediterranean. The Academia Europaea is a pan-European, nongovernmental, not-for-profit association of over 4000 individual scien- tists and scholars who are recognized as experts and leaders in their own fields. It is committed to identifying topics of trans-European importance to science and scholarship, and provides, where appropriate, its expertise and its independent and impartial advice to European institutions, governments and international agencies concerning matters affecting science, scholarship and academic life in Europe. The AE-BKH organizes multidisciplinary activities that consider the perspective of the social sciences and the humanities, with scholarly aims as well as the goal of promoting the dissemination of science. One of the very special activities of the AE-BKH is the celebration of the pres- ent-day Disputatio of Barcelona as a remembrance of the original Disputatio of Barcelona held in 1263.Until present, four moder-day Disputationes have been held, from 2013 until 2016 [Contrib Sci 12:xx-xx (2016)]
