FIL Pensamiento is a program organized by the University of Guadalajara featuring talks, lectures, panel discussions, and debates on major current issues, held as part of the Guadalajara International Book Fair (FIL). Thinkers, researchers, and academics from various disciplines will participate and reflect on social, political, economic, environmental, and cultural issues that concern us all. 

As guest of honor in 2025, the city of Barcelona plays an essential role in this line of programming, and the CCCB has led the selection of speakers and topics to engage with the FIL's interest areas and join in the activities promoted by Guadalajara. Through this participation, the CCCB aims to contribute voices and perspectives from Barcelona that help to understand contemporary challenges and open up new perspectives for critical, pluralistic, and transformative thinking.
