The Barcelona Biomedical Research Park is one of the major biomedical research centers in southern Europe. The seven research centers located in the park perform excellent science in a wide range of fields. The building, inaugurated in 2006, is a joint initiative of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Barcelona City Council, and in 2008 won the Barcelona Meeting Point award for Best National Project for its architectural originality. It has a critical mass of 1,700 people (60% women and 40% men), from more than 70 countries, who explore the most relevant issues in life sciences and biomedicine, from the molecular to the population perspective. It connects with the Hospital del Mar and is a neuralgic point of the Ciutadella del Conocimiento.

The Convent de Sant Agustí is an open and dynamic proximity facility in the neighborhoods of Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera in the Ciutat Vella district that, together with the community entities of the area, offers a wide range of activities and cultural proposals of great thematic variety, and supports creation. The center specializes in promoting emerging art, especially that related to music and new technologies. Located in a building of great architectural value, in which the Gothic cloister highlights, the center has positioned itself in recent years as a driving force of local associative life.

The Greenhouse is one of the jewels of the Ciutadella Park and contributes to reinforce the Ciutadella as a European reference in knowledge, research and innovation. Built 135 years ago by Josep Amargós y Samaranch, it was part of the buildings of the Universal Exhibition of 1888, being a unique building of high heritage and natural value, and a living memory of the history of Barcelona. After a season closed for restoration, the Greenhouse is once again undertaking its main activity: to house specimens from the botanical collection and disseminate knowledge about biodiversity and gardening among the public.

El Born MHB is a polyvalent space of conservation and valuation of heritage and a space of transmission of knowledge regarding memorial expressions. It is a centre dependent on the Barcelona Culture Institute, assigned to the Memory, History and Heritage Directorate of the Barcelona City Council. It promotes exhibitions and cultural and educational activities related to heritage and memory, and welcomes artistic manifestations whose conceptual axis is reflection on memory and the effects of forgetting.  It fosters knowledge on plurality of memory and its representations.​
