Cerdanyola Art Museum

The Cerdanyola Museum (Catalan: Museu de Cerdanyola) is a museum in Cerdanyola del Vallès, Vallès Occidental, Catalonia, Spain. It is guided by the belief that the museum is the territory itself and comprises a group of spaces spread throughout the area. The museum’s objective is to offer a didactic approach to the evolution of the population of this area of El Vallès, following the thread of its history from prehistory to the present day. The Museum is part of the Barcelona Provincial Council Local Museum Network. Currently, the Ca n’Ortadó central building is closed to the public, immersed in an intense remodelling process in relation to the 2009 opening of the Cerdanyola Art Museum and that of the Ca n'Oliver Iberian Settlement and Museum, in 2010.

The Ca n'Oliver Iberian settlement is a very large Iberian settlement found in the Collserola mountain range, in the territory formerly known as Laietania, in present-day Cerdanyola del Vallès. It is an archaeological site that was inhabited between the 6th century and 50 BC and, later on, in the Middle Ages.

Àmbit metropolità de Barcelona (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈambid mətɾupuliˈta ðə βəɾsəˈlonə]) is one of the seven territories defined by the Regional Plan of Catalonia (Catalan: Pla territorial general de Catalunya). It is located in the central coast of Catalonia, in Barcelona (capital city of Catalonia) and its influence area. It is formed of five comarques: Baix Llobregat, Barcelonès, Maresme, Vallès Occidental and Vallès Oriental. It has been suggested by local authorities that Alt Penedès and Garraf should form a separate administrative entity called Vegueria del Penedès, as Penedès was a historical territory, or vegueria, with two comarques: Baix Penedès (Camp de Tarragona) and Anoia (Comarques Centrals). To a large extent coincides with the Barcelona metropolitan area. Àmbit metropolità is the most populous vegueria with 5,012,961 inhabitants (2010), and a density of 1,549 inhabitants/km2.

It encompasses two areas: the Molí d'en Rata (En Rata mill), one of El Vallès Occidental’s last operational flour mills, and the Heritage Interpretation Centre, a newly constructed building with two exhibition rooms: one for the permanent exhibition and the other for temporary exhibitions. It is part of the Barcelona Provincial Council Local Museum Network.

Ripollet is a municipality in the comarca of the Vallès Occidental in Catalonia, Spain. It is situated on the left bank of the Ripoll river. The town is served by the AP-7, C-58 and C-33 highways, the N-150 road and a RENFE railway line.

ALBA (meaning "Sunrise" in Catalan and in Spanish) is a third-generation synchrotron light source facility located in the Barcelona Synchrotron Park in Cerdanyola del Vallès near Barcelona, in Catalonia (Spain). It was constructed and is operated by CELLS (sp: Consorcio para la Construcción, Equipamiento y Explotación del Laboratorio de Luz de Sincrotrón, the Consortium for the Exploitation of the Synchrotron Light Laboratory), and co-financed by the Spanish central administration and regional Catalan Government.After nearly ten years of planning and design work by the Spanish scientific community, the project was approved in 2002 by the Spanish and the regional Catalan governments. After scientific workshops and meetings with prospective users, the facility was redesigned in 2004, and in 2006 construction started. The laboratory was officially opened for experiments on seven beamlines in March 2010.

Badia del Vallès is a town and municipality in the province of Barcelona and autonomous community of Catalonia.

The Barcelona Synchrotron Park (BSP) is a 408-hectare (1.5 square mile) business park centered on the ALBA synchrotron that has been in operation since 2012. It is located on the northern outskirts of Barcelona, at the heart of Àmbit B30, an industrial territory of about 30,000 companies. The Park is a member of the Network of Science and Technology Parks of Catalonia (XPCAT). BSP is flanked on one side by the Research Park at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (PRUAB) and the Vallès Technology Park (PTV). While roughly half of the Park is designated for high tech companies and both residential and commercial development, a full 189 hectares are devoted to green space. In October 2016, BSP was awarded the Business & Biodiversity label by the European Commission for its agenda in favour of protecting its biodiversity. Locally known as Parc de l’Alba, BSP is a public consortium between the local city council of Cerdanyola del Vallès and the government of Catalonia through INCASÒL, the agency in charge of the management of public lands.

The Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM) (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈsentɾə ðə rəˈsɛɾkə mətəˈmatikə]) is a consortium, with its own legal status, integrated by the Institut d'Estudis Catalans (IEC) and the Catalan Government. It is a research institute associated with the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. The CRM is in essence a horizontal infrastructure that gives support to mathematical research groups and encourages the pursuit of emerging lines of research. The centre's activities are divided into two very different categories. The first category places the centre as organiser of international competitions (intensive research programmes, advances courses, conferences, etc.) and as a centre for long-term visiting researchers working in collaboration with the research community of Catalonia. Secondly, since 2008 CRM includes its own research groups, which allows it to open lines of research in different applied areas. The current director of the CRM is Lluís Alsedà. The CRM is a member of ERCOM (European Research Centres in Mathematics). Through its postdoctoral programme, the institute is also part of EPDI (European Postdoctoral Institute). The CRM has the following goals: To carry out research programmes on high-level topics. To attract the best post-doctoral fellows by way of competitive programmes of various administrations and agencies. To consolidate mechanisms for an efficient service to mathematicians. To take further steps towards becoming as competitive as the best European research centres and those of other scientifically developed countries of similar characteristics.

Barcelona Metro line 11 is a light metro line with short trains in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
