We co-create with all parts of society
The overlapping shapes of our logo speak of the collaboration between a multitude of diverse people, as occurs in our projects. These shapes are not perfect, just like the encounters between the elements of the logo: we are not afraid of imperfection, it is what makes us who we are and gives us the value we have in society. It shows fullness and voids, which speak of open science and creative thinking, and also give the sensation of depth, of how we delve into the topics we work on, and how we involve citizens from the roots.
