More than two thousand people have visited the scientific meeting among the citizen and the personal researcher castellonense.

About 2,000 people have come to the campus of the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) to learn about the work carried out every day in the workshops and laboratories of Castelló’s public university from about 100 of the researchers who do it. SCIENCE GTS is an event that provides a space for dialogue between scientists and the public, helping to bring science closer to the latter and help them understand it.

The Rector of the UJI, Eva Alcón, visited the stands accompanied by the Vice-Rector for Innovation, Transfer and Scientific Outreach, David Cabedo; the head of the Science Outreach and Citizens’ Science Unit, Lluís Martínez; the Delegate of the Rector for Teaching Transformation, Communication and Management of the Rector’s Bureau, Francesc Esteve; the director of the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences, Ana Piquer; and the manager of the Universitat Jaume I-Business Foundation, Gloria Serra.

The upper ring of the Agora hosted 39 workshops and mini-labs showing activities in areas such as biology, chemistry, health, mechanics, psychology and engineering. There, young and old could learn new scientific concepts or discover different ways of approaching scientific work to solve everyday problems. The aim was to promote the choice of scientific careers, equality and the inclusion of all people in science.

The Torre la Sal Aquaculture Institute (part of the CSIC), the Castelló Planetarium and the Valencian Biobank Network also took part in the event. In addition, there was a “European Corner”, where the Castelló Provincial Council, together with the Europe Direct Castelló programme, the European and International Projects Office and the Euro-FUE, explained the European research activities being carried out.

Children also had the chance to enjoy a fun area for discovery with activities designed especially for them, where they could listen to and chat with several UJI researchers and visit some of the research areas on campus, such as the Research Centre for Robotics and Underwater Technologies (CIRTESU) or the Institute of New Imaging Technologies (INIT).

The most artistic show was put on by a group of scientists, assisted by Teatre de Caixó, as they walked round the site. With a decadent futuristic look inspired by Mad Max, they entertained their audiences with phone calls using yoghurt pots and wires , searching for scientific evidence using various materials, juggling and even musical rhythms.

SCIENCE GTS is a project coordinated at the UJI by the Scientific Outreach and Citizens’ Science Unit of the Vice-Rectorate for Innovation, Transfer and Scientific Outreach. It is linked to the European Researchers’ Night, an initiative of the European Union funded by the European Commission via the Horizon MSCA and Citizens 2022 programme (Subsidy Agreement No. 101061179).

The activities of the UJI are added to those organised simultaneously at the public universities and other research and scientific outreach centres in the Valencian region and Murcia.
