23rd science fair. A little bit of history
Since 1998 Science Park has maintained its commitment to a science fair As a model for bringing science and technology closer to the general public. Its roots go back to the museum’s first Open Doors Day in 1996 which already included participatory experiences such as science shows, workshops, and a planetarium marathon. Through this dialogue and other activities of dialogue between science and society, the Science Park has worked to achieve its goal of not just being a space, but by using all possible strategies to bring science and technology closer to society. In this sense, the Science Fair is one of the initiatives in which this approach occurs with greater intensity by facilitating the meeting between the educational sector, universities, companies and research centers that participate more actively each year.
For this show, it is considered The first to organize in AndalusiaIn these 20 years, many others have been added that are organized every year in the autonomous community, thus increasing the public communication procedures for science in the region.
The 23rd Science Fair is funded by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (Ministry of Science and Innovation).
