The 27th edition of the Setmana de la Ciència in Catalonia

The IMB-CNM has participated in the Setmana de la Ciència for many years, as many CSIC centres. The initiative was born in Catalonia, coordinated by the Fundació Catalana per a la Recerca i la Innovació (FCRI), and this year marks its twenty-seventh edition.

The events take place during a whole week, from November 11th to 20th. Outreach activities of different formats are organized in towns throughout the territory and for all audiences: open days, virtual activities, exhibitions, workshops, talks…

The event aims to bring science and technology closer to citizens and foster scientific vocations among young people. Specifically, for this edition, innovation and local knowledge are proposed as the engine for growth, highlighting the assets in innovation and science that exist.
