Scientists from all over Catalonia will share their work through talks, workshops, demonstrations, and games for all ages. The event, organized by the “la Caixa” Foundation and coordinated by Esciencia, includes activities such as speed dating with researchers, a research fair, workshops, escape games, storytelling, and popular science talks on topics like cancer, climate, artificial intelligence, immunology, and much more.
This year, two ICREA researchers will participate with activities designed to bring research closer to the public. At the Research Fair, Kostas Kostarelos and the InBrain Neuroelectronics team will present the family activity 'Listen and Light Up Your Brain'. Participants can build a simple 3D model of the brain and discover how INBRAIN technologies allow them to listen to its activity to better understand neurological diseases.
Physics and music will meet at the 'How the Universe Sounds: Jazz and Physics for Everyone' show. The Néstor Giménez Trio will perform pieces inspired by concepts from fundamental physics and the universe. These performances will serve as a starting point for a conversation with ICREA researcher Diego Blas (Institute of High Energy Physics, IFAE) about the speed of light, space and time, relativity, black holes, and gravitational waves.
