Science Week aims of bringing science closer to the public of all ages

In many regions, the Science and Technology Week is the most important scientific outreach initiative.

 

Since 2001 it has been organised on a national basis with the aim of bringing science closer to the public of all ages to stimulate a taste for scientific knowledge and encourage citizens participation in scientific issues by conducting outreach activities in museums, universities, research centres, technology parks, etc.

A whole range of formats are possible: workshops, exhibitions, guided tours and open days, meetings between young people and researchers, science cafés, debates, lectures, shows, etc. This special year all activities have been organised online.

In one of the educational videos prepared at ITQ (CSIC) our colleague Marwan talks about CO2 capture as a solution to mitigate the climate change. The video is available only in spanish language.
