Regarding the main discussion paper of this year's meeting , Ana Marta González, scientific coordinator of the ICS, said that "music is a metaphor for the multidisciplinarity".

In addition to Cristina Pato's intervention, another of the highlights of the workshop is a roundtable on the new ICS headquarters, in which the architect Julio Clúa and the architect and artist Fernando Pagola will explain how the new facilities will favor the multidisciplinarity.
