The presentation of the prizes and diplomas of the 14th edition of the scientific meeting "El gusto de investigar" marked the end of the day at the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences (ESTCE) of the Universitat Jaume I, where nine research projects carried out throughout the academic year by young researchers and ESO students were presented. The groups also designed an explanatory poster, which was displayed at the entrance to the auditorium, and gave an oral presentation of the research carried out.

Sergio Meseguer, representing the Castellón Centre for Training, Innovation and Educational Resources (CEFIRE), said that it was necessary to have spaces such as this competition where the value of science and technology could be shared, and he thanked the teachers and students in particular for the effort they had made outside school hours to carry out the research projects, which he hoped had "taught them a lot".

The Director of the Scientific Dissemination and Citizen Science Unit, Lluís Martínez, congratulated all the groups and their teachers for their work throughout the year and reminded them that just as there is "the pleasure of research and now the pleasure of sharing", there is also "the pleasure of communicating and disseminating" the knowledge acquired through research to the rest of society, so that we can all move forward together.

The Director of the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences, Ana Piquer, said that the competition was a way of showing one of the facets that is carried out every day at the university, research, so that students can get to know it and know that, in addition to research, teachers also have to share this new knowledge with the rest of their colleagues and also with society at conferences, because "what science is looking for, she said, are global solutions to problems such as disease, climate change or infrastructure, for example, with the aim of improving people's lives".

After the oral presentations of the nine research projects during the morning, UJI professor and director of the INGRES group (Waste and Sustainability Engineering), Antonio Gallardo Izquierdo, gave a presentation on "How to contribute to the improvement of circular economy". He explained that the circular economy includes different stages such as eco-design, distribution, reuse, collection and recycling, and although all are important, the eco-design stage is "key" to using recyclable raw materials, developing the integration of functions and avoiding overloading packaging, among others.

The researcher also outlined some of the ways in which consumers can contribute to the circular economy, such as minimising packaging (using larger or compostable packaging and buying in bulk), reducing food waste (by adjusting purchases), extending the useful life of consumer goods (by repairing or donating them) and encouraging shared use (such as shared transport or public laundries).

**Prizes of the 14th edition of "El gusto de investigar"**

The prize for the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences went to the research entitled "VESPRANET: Evening wifi connectivity", presented by IES Maestrat de Sant Mateu. The winning team in the field of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry was a team from IES Gilabert de Centelles de Nules with the work "The state of food. Natural indicators".

In the Life Sciences, Earth and Environment and Technology and Engineering categories, the prizes went to students from IES Penyagolosa de Castelló de la Plana for "Research on microplastics in water" and to students from IES Gilabert de Centelles de Nules for "Design and construction of a sustainable house".

The prize for the best oral presentation went to IES Matilde Salvador for the work "Educational games for visually impaired". And the prize for the best poster went to "La mar en la nostra pell. La planta posidònia" by IES Torre del Rei de Oropesa del Mar.

Organised by the ESTCE and the CEFIRE of Castellón, the competition "El gusto de investigar" was sponsored by the bp Chair in Industrial Environment, the Torrecid Foundation Partnership Programme of Leadership and Innovation, the Zschimmer & Schwarz Partnership Programme of Sustainable and Circular Chemistry, the companies Aquarama and Becsa, and the Vice-Rectorate for Students and Healthy Living and the Scientific Culture and Citizen Science Unit of the Vice-Rectorate of Innovation, Transfer and Scientific Dissemination of the UJI.

The scientific committee of this edition was formed by Sergio Meseguer from CEFIRE Castellón; M. Victoria Ibáñez, Antonio Gallardo, Ana Belén Vicente, José A. Mata, Lluís Martínez and Iván Sorribes from the UJI and Arianna Renau from the FACSA-UJI Chair. The aim of the competition is for young people, in teams of no more than three people, and with the guidance of their teachers, to develop a research project in different areas of knowledge. Five schools from Castellón de la Plana, Nules, Sant Mateu and Oropesa del Mar participated in this edition.
