!ENGLISH! MONDAY DOUBLE SESSION / CAFE - Philosophy Meetup: 19:30h - 21h
Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup!
Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue?
If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you.
• WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT?
We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts.
The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives.
Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others.
A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning.
• WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP?
Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view.
Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups:
* What ideals are worth dying for?
* Why are we never satisfied?
* Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is?
* Is identity necessary?
* How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others)
* What is friendship?
• WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP?
Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory.
Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue.
The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

DeepTech Talks BCN: Building AI Products from Scientific Data
DOORS OPEN: 18:30
**TALK STARTS: 19:00**
NETWORKING: 20:00 – 21:30
**Our Speakers**
**[Sira Mogas-Díez, CEO KOA Biotech](https://www.linkedin.com/in/siramogas/)**
**[Joy Awad, Senior AI Engineer Biorce](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joy-awad/)**[ ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joy-awad/)
**Sira Mogas-Díez – Turning Biological Signals into Operational Systems**
Sira Mogas-Díez is the Founder and CEO of KOA Biotech, a Barcelona-based deep tech company developing early disease detection systems for aquaculture. A PhD in Biomedicine from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), Sira transitioned from academic research into entrepreneurship with the goal of translating scientific discoveries into practical solutions for the aquaculture industry.
Sira leads a multidisciplinary team of experts in synthetic biology, engineering and data science, united by a shared vision to transform aquaculture through innovation. By combining biotechnology, environmental monitoring and advanced data systems, the team develops technologies that enable earlier disease detection, more stable production and more sustainable aquaculture operations.
Sira was selected as a recipient of the Women TechEU programme, an initiative by the European Commission supporting leading women-founded deep tech startups across Europe. Her work focuses on combining biotechnology, data and environmental monitoring to improve productivity and sustainability in aquaculture systems.
**Joy Awad – Applying AI to Scientific and Biomedical Data**
Joy Awad is a Senior Artificial Intelligence Engineer at Biorce. She holds a master’s degree in computer science and engineering and specialises in machine learning, deep learning and the broader field of artificial intelligence. With a strong foundation in mathematics, programming and critical thinking, she brings practical experience to research and development projects involving complex data and advanced computational methods.
At Biorce, Joy works on applying artificial intelligence to scientific and biomedical data, helping transform complex datasets into systems that can support research and decision-making. She is particularly interested in exploring novel methods and interdisciplinary approaches that connect artificial intelligence with scientific discovery and technological innovation.
**What’s In It For You?**
Many of today’s most impactful technologies begin not in software, but in science. From climate modelling to biological monitoring, deep tech companies are increasingly turning complex scientific data into operational systems that help industries make better decisions.
In this DeepTech Talks edition, Sira and Joy will explore:
• How scientific signals, sensors and research models become real-world products
• What it takes to transform uncertain and complex data into usable tools
• How teams translate scientific research into scalable software systems
• The challenges of deploying data-driven technologies where reliability and impact truly matter
Expect a grounded discussion connecting scientific research, engineering and product development, and how deep tech companies transform knowledge into operational technologies.
**Who Should Come?**
• AI/ML engineers and data scientists
• Product leaders and engineering managers
• Deep tech founders and researchers
• Scientists interested in turning research into products
• Anyone curious about how scientific data becomes real-world technology
**Extras**
We’ll have food and drinks 🍷🍕
Come ready to meet engineers, founders, researchers and technology leaders building the next generation of deep tech systems.
Spaces are limited, so grab your spot on Meetup while you can.

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.

The Graduate
This 1967 film is widely regarded as one of the best American movies ever made. Now remembered almost as much for its Simon and Garfunkel music as its deadpan comedy and being the role that established Dustin Hoffman as the hottest actor in Hollywood. It became a cultural icon for capturing the spirit of 60s angst of a young man on the make, while garnering a batch of Oscar nominations.
After watching the movie on your own, join us to relive (or experience!) those feelings at our discussion.
