Who can come?
Anyone doing or supporting research in Barcelona: Master’s-by-research and PhD students, postdocs, lecturers, professors, research staff, from any institution, discipline or church background. Not sure you count? You do. Curious but not a Christian? Come to an open evening.
What to expect the first time
Around 10–20 people, dinner, a discussion you can join or just listen to, and prayer at the end — in English, with Spanish and Catalan around the table. Nobody will ask you to sign anything or to speak.
Why come
Bring your work, not just yourself.
Talk through what faith changes in your lab, your seminar room or your next paper, with Christians from other fields who know the pressures from the inside.
Learn from people a few steps ahead.
PhD students, postdocs and professors at one table: honest advice on supervisors, applications and setbacks, and on staying a Christian in academia.
Keep faith and work in one piece.
Research years can quietly pull the two apart. One evening a month with people who face the same is a simple way to stop that.

FAQ
Is this a church?
No. We’ll happily point you to churches in several languages.
Do I have to be an evangelical?
No. Our leaders affirm the IFES doctrinal basis; you’re welcome whatever your tradition.
I’m at UAB, ICFO, somewhere far away.
Meetings are central; we often share lifts; smaller campus prayer groups are starting where there are three or more of us.
Cost?
Nothing. A jar goes round for dinner.
Can I bring a colleague?
Please do.
