Education
As scientists, it is part of our job to inform our professional colleagues about our results. However, it is at least as important to inform the general public, who ultimately finances most of our work through their taxes. We are committed to ensure that our research is accessible to everybody, and also to contribute to transmit our passion for Science to future generations. Some of the educative programs where we usually participate are:
A bridge between high school and university
The STEMbach programm, designed for both the Humanities and Science and created under the Galician Strategy for digital education, promotes students’ vocation towards scientific and technological research and allows a direct connection with university education. (hiperlink en Stembach)
