More than a learning
experience
With 8 universities, over 15,000 lecturers
and 200,000 students from all over the

biggest university communities in
Europe.
Its internationally-minded, multicultural
student life attracts both young, creative
spirits and a growing range of international
companies and start-up projects.
The city's 100 galleries and 66 museums
and exhibition spaces also represent its
lifelong passion for culture.
The Mobile World Congress, the World
Smart City Forum, the 080 Barcelona
Fashion Week, the Formula 1 Grand Prix...
Barcelona has become a reflection of its
society: multidisciplinary, multi-dimensional
and multilingual.
