Humanistic Dialogues UPF

Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) opens its doors to the university community and society as a whole to disseminate and debate current issues in a series of seven dialogues. The Humanistic Dialogues propose the humanistic field as the blackbone of a series of conferences that deal with topics of general culture, politics, history, biomedicine, ethics, philosophy, pyschology or economics, always in dialogue format between two experts from different fields of knowledge. 

Humanistic Dialogues of the UPF, 2022 edition, will take place in the Auditorium of the UPF Ciutadella Campus, from 7pm to 8pm, every Tuesday from February 1st to March 15th. Likewise, the conferences can be followed in person, with prior registration and limited capacity, or through the Internet from the Dialogues website.
