Since it began operations in 2013, the AE-BKH, in collaboration with the Barcelona City Council, has organized the Disputatio<\/em> of Barcelona<\/strong>, an annual academic debate<\/strong> held between two renowned experts (disputantes<\/em>) holding different viewpoints on a common topic of social relevance. The session is coordinated by another expert, the Magister disputationis<\/em> or convenor, responsible for selecting the topic and moderating the debate.<\/p>\n

The activity is characterized by a high level of interaction with the audience, comprised of scholars from a variety of fields beyond that of the topic being discussed. This feature is inspired by the original Disputatio<\/em> held in Barcelona in 1263, a theological debate between Christian and Jewish intellectuals presided by King James I of Aragon. The modern-day Disputationes<\/em>, covering a wide variety of topics in the exact, natural and social sciences, as well as the humanities, have become an academic tradition.<\/p>\n
