The Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) at the University of Granada will participate with a diverse program in the 44th Granada Book Fair, held from April 23 to May 3.
With an eye on Granada’s candidacy for European Capital of Culture 2031, this year’s Book Fair is themed around Lorca’s phrase “Once Five Years Pass” (Así que pasen cinco años). This event transforms the city center into a meeting point for literature, thought and reflection. Within this context, the CIMCYC joins this cultural event, recognizing scientific culture as an essential part of contemporary culture.
This year’s program offers activities designed for all ages, distributed across the Science, Youth, Family and "Violet Readings" (feminist literature) sections.
