Several Nobel Laureates and prestigious international researchers from different scientific disciplines will share with the audience their passion and knowledge about a wide range of subjects, such as astrophysics, software engineering, quantum physics, neuroscience, botany or biomedicine. Tales of exploration, scientific challenges and a generous dose of Passion for Knowledge in the flagship of the festival.

Most of the Plenary Lectures will be held in San Sebastian, in the main venue, but lectures have also been scheduled in other nearby cities, like Bilbao, and we will also cross the border into our neighbouring country to take Passion for Knowledge to Bordeaux.

Entrance to all the Plenary Lectures is free of charge until seating capacity is complete, although prior registration is recommended.

Register now for Public Lectures


Simultaneous interpretation service into English, Basque and Spanish will be available, and all sessions will be streamed live over this website.
