Fundació Tekhnikós

Technology, culture, and research

Fundació Tekhnikós is based in Verdú, Lleida, and works to apply advanced technologies in cultural, scientific, and humanities fields. Its initial areas of work were Planetari, Interacció, Música, and Documents.

Areas of work

• Planetari: plans for a planetarium in the Sant Miquel chapel in Verdú, following an agreement with the town council to use the space. While it was not yet fully operational, the foundation held open-house days with historical and technical content.
• Música: research in music therapy and support for musicians and musical performance.
• Documents: management of a documentary collection.
• Interacció: development of interactive tools for computer use.
