Building Bridges 2025: Fostering Knowledge Across Disciplines

In an era where misinformation and subjective narratives challenge the foundations of truth, the role of rigorous academic inquiry has never been more crucial. Building Bridges 2025, the annual meeting of the Academia Europaea in Barcelona, will bring together leading scholars from all areas of knowledge to reaffirm the value of critical thinking, scientific evidence, and interdisciplinary dialogue.

At a time when public discourse is often fragmented and influenced by misleading information, academia remains a beacon of intellectual integrity. By connecting disciplines—from the humanities to the natural and social sciences—this meeting will explore how collaborative research can address global challenges, foster innovation, and reinforce the importance of knowledge-based decision-making in society.

As we gather in Barcelona in October 2025, we invite participants to engage in thought-provoking discussions, build new synergies, and strengthen the role of academia as a pillar of informed public debate. In a world of uncertainty, knowledge remains our most reliable bridge to the future. Let’s reinforce it!

Jaume Bertranpetit, Academic Director of Academia Europaea Barcelona Hub

Panel Theme: Democracy, Prosperity, and Sociality within Planetary Boundaries

This high-level, interdisciplinary plenary brings together perspectives from the natural and social sciences and humanities to consider how societies can live well within planetary boundaries. Rather than seeing ecological limits as constraints, how might they serve as catalysts for democratic renewal, equity, and innovation? Transforming the way we live requires more than technological fixes—it calls for approaches that are culturally grounded, inclusive, and responsive to lived realities. Experiences such as vaccine uptake highlight the limitations of top-down strategies. Climate change, as an anthropogenic and socially embedded phenomenon, illustrates how well-intended actions can produce unintended consequences. Here, the social sciences play a critical role in shaping just and viable pathways forward.

Open session organized by the Young Academy of Europe (YAE)

Public trust in science and navigating political tensions

Public trust in scientists can help policymaking institutions to decide on the basis of available evidence, but we witness recent political hostilities towards research institutions, and academic freedom and integrity. Indeed, the boundary between science and politics has always been contested, with some seeking to harden this boundary, while others see it as more malleable. And at the same time, most people today trust scientists and agree that they should engage more in society. Against this background, this panel will host multiple perspectives on how scientists – as individuals and as a group – navigate social and political polarization on the role and organisation of science in Europe today. To the extent that scientists work within a politicised context, what affordances and strategies do they deploy to establish science’s role in society and relate to political trends.

GEOLOGICAL TRIP TO MONTSERRAT MOUNTAIN

Montserrat massif will be observed both from the distance and from within (monastery area). This massif is distinctive for its conglomerate pinnacles, resulting from a very penetrative high-density joint system that is developed throughout a very homogeneous conglomerate. Montserrat contains the world’s largest amount of conglomerate pinnacles within a massif.
