This year will be the fifth edition of the program FIL is also science and AC / E supports, through the PICE mobility grants, the participation of the Spanish group Big Van Ciencia and its founder Javier Santaolalla; Roger Olmos and Eva Sánchez in the FILustra program; and of Valeria Correa Fiz, Cristina Sánchez-Andrade and José Manuel Fajardo.
Dedicated to the communication of science, Big Van brings the most specialized scientific content to all types of audiences, using formats ranging from the Stan-Up Comedy to the writing of scientific-technological books in a comic tone. Science, built from cooperation and equality, is the main tool for the progress of humanity. The format of this special programme is channeled through scientific monologues, in which various specialists take the stage to humorously explain the latest scientific advances.
The Guadalajara International Book Fair is the most important publishing gathering in Ibero-America. It is also an amazing cultural festival. Created 32 years ago by the University of Guadalajara, the Fair is aimed at professionals and the general public alike, a characteristic that sets it apart from other book fairs around the globe. With business as one of its main goals, it is also a cultural festival in which literature plays a major role including a program where authors from all continents and languages participate, and a forum for the academic discussion of the major issues of our time.
For nine days, people willingly stand in long lines to listen to their favorite authors, the book industry makes Guadalajara its beating heart and the whole city is filled with the music, arts, cinema and theatre from the featured Guest of Honor which this year is Portugal.
