Radiodays Europe will this year be held in the heart of Barcelonas central Raval district. The conference venue is a modern urban showcase with historic roots – the Centre for Contemporary Culture in Barcelona (CCCB). It is Barcelona's most famous museum for contemporary art and culture and is located in the historic Raval district, a few minutes' walk from the famous avenue of Las Ramblas and the central city square Plaza Catalunya. CCCB contains modern conference facilities in a charming setting.

The CCCB is a public consortium created by the Diputació de Barcelona (Provincial Council) and the Ajuntament de Barcelona (Barcelona City Council). The body governing the consortium of the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona is the Board of Directors, chaired by the President of the Diputació de Barcelona with the Mayor of Barcelona as Vice President. Josep Ramoneda is the Centre's General Director.

The Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB) organizes and produces exhibitions, debates, festivals and concerts, programmes film cycles, courses and lectures, and encourages creation using new technologies and languages. It promotes artistic research in fields such as multimedia, backs research into exhibition formats, exports its in-house productions to other national and international arts centres, museums and institutions, and generates debate, thought and reflection on the theme of the city and the public domain, as well as other issues of current affairs.

The CCCB also compiles materials that are available for public consultation, comprising its inheritance, its holdings and archives of exhibition formats, publications, digital archives, audiovisuals, and so on. It is a space open to groups of independent artists, creators and programmers, and to various bodies with which they have forged bonds over the years. Thanks to all of them, they can guarantee a quality multidisciplinary programme that furthers contemporary culture.
