Contaminación de aguas y saneamiento
Coordinación: Montserrat Folch Sánchez, profesora agregada del
Departamento de Productos Naturales, Biología Vegetal y Edafología de
la Universitat de Barcelona.
Las exigencias legales y la necesidad de mantener el buen estado ecológico
de los sistemas acuáticos, así como el buen funcionamiento de las
depuradoras, requieren que los vertidos de aguas residuales a la red de
alcantarillado o al medio receptor tengan unos límites estrictos, que deben
asegurarse mediante controles adecuados. La complejidad y diversidad del
medio urbano e industrial, la ampliación de los sistemas de saneamiento y
las presiones crecientes para mantener en buen estado los medios naturales,
junto con los desarrollos legislativos europeos, nacionales y autonómicos han
contribuido al desarrollo extraordinario de los mecanismos de control de los
vertidos. Este curso tratará la contaminación y el control de los sistemas de
saneamiento desde una perspectiva general que incluye aspectos técnicos y
jurídico-administrativos, y desde una visión centrada en la contaminación de
industrias determinadas. El curso se complementará con dos visitas, la primera
a la depuradora de Sant Feliu de Llobregat, y la segunda al control automático
de calidad del SISTA, ubicado en este mismo municipio.
Fechas: del 4 al 8 de julio
Horario: mañana, de 9:30 a 14 h

Littérature et interculturalité en
Méditerranée
Coordination: Francisco Lafarga Maduell, professeur émérite du
Département de Philologie romane et directeur de la Chaire de la
Francophonie à l'Université de Barcelone.
Le cours se propose d'aborder un sujet actuel, celui de l'interculturalité, rapporté
à la Méditerranée. Celle-ci constitue un espace qui est, depuis les origines de
l'histoire documentée, un lieu privilégié de contacts de tous ordres : de découverte,
de conquête, de commerce et, bien sûr, de culture. Cette optique interculturelle,
même réduite à un domaine purement littéraire, s'avère d'une richesse énorme,
embrassant des cultures diverses, les axes est-ouest et nord-sud, des auteurs et des
pays différents et cependant convergents.
Dates: 4-8 juillet
Horaires: de 9 h 30 à 14h 00
Lieu: Bâtiment historique de l’UB, Barcelone
Walking through Barcelona
Coordination: Sergi Martínez i Rigol, lecturer at the Department of Human
Geography of the University of Barcelona.
This course aims to give participants an in-depth understanding of the city of
Barcelona, its history, its art, and its role as a European and Mediterranean capital.
The course has two parts: 1) lectures and classes on the char story of the city, given
in English by university lecturers who are specialists in the field; and 2) visits, led
by the lecturers to the places studied during the lectures – museums, archives,
libraries, buildings of interest and other landmarks.
plásticas, y asentó las bases del arte actual. Siguiendo las leyes geométricas
y constructivas de la naturaleza, creó un lenguaje arquitectónico propio
y altamente expresivo a través de la búsqueda de la perfección del arte,
la perfección personal y la perfección de la sociedad humana, que convirtió
su contribución a la arquitectura en única y excepcional. Este curso se
propone analizar la arquitectura de Antoni Gaudí a través del proceso de
construcción del templo expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, una obra que
le fue encargada a finales de 1883 y a la cual el arquitecto dedicó la mayor
parte de su carrera profesional. Se tratarán las condiciones del encargo,
los valores constructivos y simbólicos del templo, y su significado dentro
de la sociedad catalana a lo largo de sus ciento veinticinco años de historia,
y se expondrán algunos de los numerosos temas de discusión que ha
provocado la consagración del templo en basílica. El curso incluirá una
visita al templo, declarado patrimonio de la humanidad por la Unesco y
convertido en uno de los signos de identidad más universales de la ciudad
de Barcelona.
Herederos de un Imperio: de Roma a
nuestros días
Coordinación: José Remesal Rodríguez, catedrático de Historia Antigua
de la Universitat de Barcelona.
El Imperio romano creó en la cuenca del Mediterráneo y en Europa
central un estado que difundió una estructura social y económica, un
sistema legislativo, una conciencia de ciudadanía e, incluso, una lengua
común. Estos elementos subsisten en el mundo occidental y, a través
de la expansión de la cultura europea y mediterránea, en otras muchas
regiones del planeta, concretamente en el continente americano. Este
curso se propone ofrecer, desde distintas perspectivas, una visión
sintética del Imperio romano como base de la cultura europea y
mediterránea actual, y, en el contexto de un mundo marcado por la
globalización, contribuir al conocimiento de las diferentes culturas, de
la interacción entre ellas y de sus respectivos desarrollos históricos.
Horario: mañana, de 9:30 a 14h

Cities are becoming the living space for the majority of the world
population. The 36% of the world population was urban in 1970. In 2010
this percentage was the 50%, and the forecast is that in 2050 it will be
almost the 70% (World Urbanization Prospects, 2009). The number of
cities are also increasing, as well as its size. Everywhere in the world
those growing cities have to face with a lot of different kind of problems
and issues, as the management of the city, mobility, social exclusion,
housing problems, competitiveness and investments, and others. In this
context, the goal of having a more sustainable and livable cities, at the
same time than a more competitive and fair ones, is one of the main
challenges for the urban policies and planning. The course is based on
three different kind of activities. First of all, mornings are devoted to
presentations by academics and professionals of relevant topics related
with urban policies and planning issues. There will be one main speaker,
and short case studies presentations.
Dates: 11-15 July
Time: morning, from 9:30am to 2:00pm and evening from 3:00pm to 6:00pm

Retos de la alimentación infantil
Coordinación: Rafael Jiménez, catedrático emérito de Pediatría y director
de la cátedra Danone de la Universitat de Barcelona.
Del mismo modo que la buena alimentación de la embarazada y el
cuidado de su entorno influyen en el desarrollo adecuado del feto y
contribuyen a prevenir casos de malnutrición fetal, que a menudo son
la causa de problemas posteriores, una buena alimentación infantil es
básica para el correcto crecimiento del niño y para la prevención de
enfermedades. Este curso se centra en la alimentación infantil, desde la
lactancia hasta la adolescencia, con el objetivo de proporcionar pautas
de alimentación que proporcionen una buena calidad de vida y, a la vez,
ayuden a prevenir enfermedades que cada día son más frecuentes, como
la obesidad, y los problemas que conllevan (aterosclerosis, hipertensión
o diabetes, etc.).
Horario: tarde, de 16 a 20:30 h
Città e Mediterraneità
Coordinamento : Rosario Sommella, professore associato di Geografia
economico-politica presso la Facoltà di Scienze Politiche dell’Università
degli studi di Napoli "L'Orientale".
La riqualificazione urbana che ha interessato le città mediterranee negli
ultimi anni si è fondata sulla possibilità di far leva su una tradizione, in
termini di rivalorizzazione del passato e della cultura nel paesaggio urbano,
che altrove è stata re-inventata per poter affrontare la competizione a scala
globale. In un’economia globale fondata sulla smaterializzazione
dell’economia e sull’informatizzazione dello spazio, si assiste ad una
progressiva erosione del ruolo degli Stati-nazione e ad una crescente rilevanza
delle città. Molte delle strategie di sviluppo poggiano sul capitale di urbanità
che queste città rappresentano e sovente sulla mediterraneità come immagine
di richiamo. Tali città emergono per un insieme di elementi, sul piano più
noto delle presenze di beni culturali, ma anche nel campo della produzione
di eventi, delle forme innovative di valorizzazione delle tipicità locali, delle
nuove strategie in un settore fondamentale della città mediterranea come
il commercio urbano. Le finalità sono quelle dell’attrazione di un flusso
turistico che situa la regione mediterranea tra le più importanti del pianeta.
Rispetto a un Mediterraneo inteso come frontiera, luogo di instabilità e
fratture, le città hanno continuato però a svolgere un ruolo di equilibrio,
attingendo alla loro vocazione di luoghi di scambio e di integrazione, anche
a dispetto di chiusure nazionalistiche, fratture culturali e conflitti geopolitici.
Data: 18-22 luglio
Orario: mattina, 9.30-14.00
Luogo: Edificio Storico della UB, Barcellona
Creativity and urban policy strategies
Coordination: Montserrat Pareja-Eastaway, associate professor at the
Faculty of Economics and Business and coordinator of the UB research
group Creativity, Innovation and Urban Transformation.
Las células madre, o también llamadas células troncales, han abierto nuevos
horizontes en el tratamiento de enfermedades mediante la terapia sustitutiva.
Estas aproximaciones terapéuticas, muy divulgadas a través de los medios
de comunicación y que albergan grandes esperanzas para la sociedad,
constituyen uno de los campos de investigación biomédica más atractivos
para futuros profesionales de la medicina y la biología, y han suscitado un
gran interés para el público general. Este curso abarcará el estudio de las
células madre, desde una aproximación general de su biología –definición,
clasificación y localización– hasta el estudio de los experimentos más
recientes y las últimas aplicaciones clínicas que se están realizando en el
campo de la terapia celular.
Creativity is on the local agenda. Nowadays, governments are engaged in
facilitating and promoting the conditions to favor creativity. But what do
we really understand by creativity? What exactly are the conditions that
contribute to increasing creativity? Do culture and identity play a key role?
Are there any reliable recommendations for success for cities and regions?
Richard Florida promotes a recipe for creative cities based on three ingredients,
the so-called three T’s: Talent, Technology and Tolerance. Other authors like
Allen Scott provide arguments taking a completely opposite view and
pointing out the risks associated with the New Economy and the emergence
of a “servile class” rather than a “creative class”. The debate is open and new
evidence is needed to confirm or reject either set of theories. The aim of this
course is twofold: on the one hand, it will provide a summary of recent
developments in scientific literature concerning creativity as a local strategy
to enhance the competitiveness of the city. On the other, it will be an
opportunity to better know specific case studies where creativity has
successfully promoted the city. The target audience for this course is both
students and professionals wishing to increase their knowledge about
creativity as a pillar for urban competitiveness.
Dates: 18-22 July
Células madre: de la teoría a la clínica
Coordinación: Josep M. Canals Coll, profesor titular del Departamento
de Biología Celular, Inmunología y Neurociencias de la Universitat de
Barcelona.
Jordi Alberch Vié, vicerrector de Investigación y catedrático de Biología de
la Universitat de Barcelona.
El Mediterráneo. Un océano de recursos y
un escenario de cambio global
Coordinación: Montserrat Vidal Barcelona, profesora titular del
Departamento de Ecología de la Universitat de Barcelona.
Instituciones políticas, empresariales, sociales y académicas trabajan, desde hace
décadas, para frenar los impactos ambientales en la región mediterránea y
asegurar que su desarrollo sea sostenible. Este curso quiere proporcionar una
visión especializada de la ecología, la producción y la conservación de los recursos
del Mediterráneo centrándose en el estudio de las bases físicas del clima y de la
circulación de las aguas, la producción del sistema pelágico, la gestión de los
recursos pesqueros, la producción de nuevos fármacos a partir de organismos
marinos, la ecología y funcionamiento de las comunidades bentónicas del litoral
y del fondo del Mediterráneo, y las interacciones entre diferentes procesos
ecológicos y el sistema climático. En el curso se tratarán los aspectos más básicos
de cada tema y se ofrecerá información sobre los cambios recientes, la
susceptibilidad al cambio global y las líneas de investigación futuras. De este
modo, se pretende crear un espacio de divulgación del conocimiento y de la
investigación actual en el ámbito marino mediterráneo.
AIDS: past, present and future directions
Coordination: Josep Maria Gatell, manager at Hospital Clínic de
Barcelona’s Service for Infectious Diseases and HIV/AIDS and professor
of medicine at the University of Barcelona.
The course is addressed to a general audience interested in infectious
diseases and epidemics but also to health care professionals wishing to
become familiar with current developments in HIV/AIDS treatment. We
will describe the origin and characteristics of HIV, the mechanisms and
dynamics of viral replication and how we can intervene with combinations
of antiretroviral drugs. We will also focus on resistance selection. Moreover
we will analyze the natural history of the HIV infection, the clinical
consequences and the immunological and clinical response to antiretroviral
treatment. Finally, we will focus on transmission mechanisms and on the
advances and drawbacks in the development of a preventative vaccine.
We will assume that the audience has a general knowledge of pathogenic
microorganisms for human beings (including the viruses) and at the end
of the course participants will have learnt about the origins and the
evolution of the epidemic and its social and demographic impact.
Dates: 18-22 July
Time: evening, from 4:00pm to 8:30pm
