The Universitat Jaume I of Castelló brings the Connect with Science programme to the Camp de Morvedre off-campus site at the Casal Jove (youth centre) in Port de Sagunt. This week, fourth-year secondary school students from different schools in the Camp de Morvedre are taking part in a series of science workshops run by researchers from Castelló's public university. These activities have already been carried out during the month of October in the Els Ports off-campus site (Morella and Vilafranca) as well as in the Inland site (Segorbe) and will soon be held in the North site (Sant Mateu and Vinaròs).

The opening ceremony of these science days in Port de Sagunt was attended by the Mayor of Sagunt, Darío Moreno; the Councillor for Education, Raúl Palmero; the Councillor for University, Science and Innovation, Antonio Iborra; the Director of the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences, Ana Piquer; and the Head of the Science Outreach and Citizen Science Unit, Lluís Martínez.

Darío Moreno stressed that there are two areas that mark the importance of this conference: one at the societal level and the other at the personal level of each of the students. "Science matters, and saying so at events like this is essential for all of us to understand the importance of what we are talking about". In addition, Raúl Palmero also thanked the Universitat Jaume I for "its dedication and firm commitment to implementing new programmes in the town".

The Connect with Science initiative aims to stimulate the culture of science and critical thinking throughout the region and, especially, to encourage the scientific careers of both female and male students in order to break the gender gap in STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). In addition, the activity functions as a two-way communication channel between research staff and citizens in which researchers propose solutions to the different challenges and difficulties and, in turn, receive the concerns and opinions of citizens.

The Head of the Science Outreach and Citizen Science Unit, Lluís Martínez, stressed that "practical workshops are taken on each occasion to the University's off-campus sites throughout the region, with proposals from many different fields, to share in a practical way the research carried out at the University". Martínez also stressed the importance of the workshops held during these weeks and the benefits for the students who will take part in them: "Very soon these students will become the researchers of the future and, with their talent, they will reach new goals in scientific research".

In the workshops that took place during the conference, the students were able to learn, among many other activities, how to recognise the importance of keeping a healthy body and mind, how phenomena related to optics and light work, and how hydrogen and fuel cells are used in domestic and industrial applications.

The Connect with Science programme, which has been running since 2012, is organised by the Scientific Outreach and Citizen Science Unit of the Office of the Vice-Rector for Innovation, Transfer and Science Outreach and the Open Campus programme of the Sociocultural Activities Service of the Office of the Vice-Rector for Culture, Languages and Society of the UJI, in collaboration with the teaching staff of the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences and the Faculty of Health Sciences.

The Connect with Science activities are now part of the SCIENCE GTS project, which in addition to the central event of the European Researchers' Night, also promotes direct contact between researchers and pre-university students through these workshops. The SCIENCE GTS project is an initiative funded by the European Commission through the Horizon MSCA and Citizens 2022 programme (grant agreement no. 101061179).
