The Ciutat de Vila-real Chair in Ceramic Innovation at the Universitat Jaume I organises Science Week, a series of conferences aimed especially at secondary school students, with the objective of encouraging scientific vocations among the youngest as well as vindicating the role of women in science. The mayor of Vila-real, José Benlloch, presented the activities together with the director of the chair, Juan Carda, and the director of Santa María school, Juan Francisco Navarro.

Science Week will take place around 15 November, which commemorates the feast of Saint Albert the Great, patron saint of experimental scientists. For this reason, the Chair in Ceramic Innovation has designed a programme of conferences given by outstanding researchers on 14 and 15 November in the Caja Rural Vila-real Foundation's auditorium, aimed especially at students in the fourth year of secondary education at the different educational centres in the city.

Juan Carda highlighted the level of the speakers, including María Jesús Vicent Docón, researcher at the Príncipe Felipe Research Centre in València and expert in biotechnology; the local historian Juan Martínez Royo, who will speak on science in antiquity; the researcher at the Spanish National Research Centre (CSIC) Juan García Guinea, who works at the National Museum of Natural Sciences, who will talk about meteorites; the CSIC researcher Pío Callejas Gómez, whose lecture will focus on lithium; and finally the CSIC Emeritus Professor Jesús María Rincón López, who will talk about vitreous materials. In addition, other parallel activities have been programmed.

The Mayor of Vila-real stressed the need to promote scientific vocations because "there will be no innovation without science". For his part, the director of the Santa María school, Juan Francisco Navarro, thanked the city council for its support and highlighted the good results of the subject of Scientific Culture that secondary education students have taken since 2009, which has allowed this school to participate in national and international fairs and congresses and to obtain 14 awards and recognitions.
