With this objective, three groups of people will participate in the event: citizens, experts in graphic design, and researchers and science communicators working in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Anna May Masnou, from ICMAB, will give an introductory talk on nanoscience (Nano-què?) to open the event.

After the three introductory talks about graphic design, design thinking and nanoscience, the attendees will participate in a guided dynamic on design thinking around nanoscience to explore, in small interdisciplinary working groups, new communicative methodologies and synergies between the three sectors.
