The Universitat Jaume I has closed MicroMón@UJI, a citizen science and service-learning pilot project, with the participation of eighty students from the secondary schools IES Bovalar in Castelló de la Plana and IES La Vall d'Alba and 26 university students, mostly from the Bachelor's Degree in Medicine, who have explored the microbial biodiversity in the soil, in the research of new antibiotic-producing microorganisms.

The project has also served to raise awareness and involve young students and the society around them in biomedical research in order to encourage scientific vocations among pre-university students. For this reason, a crowdsourcing strategy aimed at discovering new antibiotics from soil samples has been used.

The UJI had joined as a new node to the already existing Red Nacional MicroMundo, Swi@spain-MicroMundo (<http://www.micro-mundo.org/>), in which some thirty universities and research institutes from all over the Iberian Peninsula participate. It has the institutional support of the UJI through the Scientific Culture and Citizen Science Project, directed by Lluís Martínez León, and the Vice-rectorate for Studies and Teaching, through an Educational Improvement Project.

This national initiative has its origins in the international projects Small World Initiative (<http://www.smallworldinitiative.org>) and Tiny Earth (<https://tinyearth.wisc.edu/>) and is coordinated by the Teaching and Dissemination Group of the Spanish Society of Microbiology-SEM and supported by the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Health Products (National Antibiotic Resistance Plan).
