Other educational activities such as Connecta amb la Ciència, Estudia e Investiga and the new Initiation to Research Grants also encourage interest in science and research.

The Universitat Jaume I of Castelló reinforces its commitment to scientific vocations among young students with a variety of educational initiatives that integrate science and research. In this context, it is worth highlighting the collaboration of the UJI with phase 2 of the Joves i Ciència programme, organised by the Catalunya-La Pedrera Foundation, which offers students in the 1st year of baccalaureate a practical immersion in the world of scientific research. These types of programmes are essential not only to awaken scientific vocations from a young age, but also to foster creativity, innovation and the development of key skills that contribute to the recovery and retention of research talent in our country, thus guaranteeing a solid scientific and technological future.

For the third consecutive year, the Institute of Advanced Materials (INAM) of the UJI hosts this programme, developed from 15 to 26 July. Two students from schools in Catalonia have been working on real research projects, which has given them a practical view of the scientific process and has fostered their interest in scientific careers. At INAM, the two participants have collaborated with the research staff formed by Radeya Vasquez Romero, Ana María Gutiérrez Blanco and Javier Durantini, under the mentorship of researcher Sixto Giménez, in the research of innovative and sustainable materials, contributing to advances in the fields of physics and chemistry applied to advanced materials. These activities are related to the research lines of the PHAME (PHotoActive Materials for Energy) group, focused on the production of value-added chemical compounds through sustainable valorisation routes.

This and other initiatives are part of the efforts of the Universitat Jaume I to encourage scientific vocations and the participation of young people in research. These actions include programmes such as Connecta amb la Ciència, Estudia e Investiga, and the new research initiation grants. The social communication of science plays an important role in these activities, as it highlights the importance of science and technology in the development of society, and promotes creativity, innovation and STEM skills.

Connecta amb la Ciència is a programme aimed at 4th year ESO students from different schools in Castellón (Camp de Morvedre, Segorbe, Morella, Vilafranca, Sant Mateu and Vinaròs), which aims to bring them closer to the university world and awaken their interest in science and technology. Through practical workshops and talks with university research staff, students have the opportunity to learn first-hand about the different areas of research and the studies they can pursue at the university. This immersive experience aims to encourage scientific and technological vocations from an early age throughout the province of Castellón.

On the other hand, Estudia e Investiga allows university students to collaborate with research teams in innovative and multidisciplinary research projects. This programme offers the university community the opportunity to be immersed in research groups, promoting their participation in research activities from the early stages of their academic training. In this way, students can explore different scientific fields, develop their research skills and enhance their academic and professional growth.

In addition, the new research initiation grants provide financial and academic support to master's students interested in getting started in the field of research and aim to promote access to research for students with a high level of academic performance, combining their studies with basic training in research. Various grants can be applied for, such as those for collaboration in departments or those offered by groups, institutes and departments, with a specific financial endowment and dedication depending on the type of grant. This action is part of the Plan for the Promotion of Research and Knowledge Transfer 2024 of the UJI.

The Universitat Jaume I continues to promote interest in science and research among young people through different opportunities to develop skills and knowledge in scientific fields. These programmes are designed to offer practical and motivating experiences, favouring a comprehensive and quality training for future science and technology professionals.

The Connecta amb la Ciència programme is organised by the Scientific Dissemination and Citizen Science Unit of the Vice-Rector's Office for Innovation, Transfer and Scientific Dissemination, in collaboration with the Campus Obert programme of the Sociocultural Activities Service (SASC) of the Vice-Rector's Office for Culture, Languages and Society of the UJI and also has the funding and collaboration of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology - Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities through the project FCT-23-19026.
