Rambla Science, new space of scientific information in Tarragona
Our ambassador Sergio Nasarre, director of the UNESCO Housing Chair of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili is the main promoter of the Rambla Science, a new centre of scientific information that will occupy the former headquarters of the Bank of Spain, an emblematic building in the city of Tarragona, located in the heart of the Rambla. The project will bring science to the general public and explain the work being undertaken in university laboratories and those of the Institut Català d’Investigacions Químiques. This will involve temporary exhibitions, workshops and working spaces. The main goal is the regeneration and attraction of scientific talent and to revitalise the city centre and attract tourism.
Reflected in the Science Gallery of Dublin, it will be the first centre of these characteristics in Spain and one of the few that exist in Europe. The rehabilitation works of the building will begin this year and the opening is planned for September 2021.
