Simple. April 25, 2023. Dozens of interactive workshops, distributed in different tents, make up the “Spring of Science” initiative that will take place on May 5, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, on Paseo de la Libertad. In addition to these workshops, there is another booth where you can take a 360-degree virtual visit to the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM).
This media activity constitutes a “science fair” aimed at promoting interest in research and the scientific field. It is organized by the city council and Scientific Culture and Innovation Unit of the Regional University (UCLMdivulga)In cooperation with the Ministry of Science and Innovation and the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation Advisor, Laura Avellaneda, presented this morning the programming of this initiative, with UCLMdivulga coordinator, Alberto Najera, and journalist for this module, Roman Escudero.

Avellaneda explained that this science fair will publicize the work being done by the faculties in various fields of knowledge in terms of research. He, especially the younger ones, can find out what is being done at Albacete and UCLM on scientific matters and keep them interested.
The head of the Entrepreneurship Department stressed that the “Spring of Science” seeks to continue other media initiatives that have been developed. Thus, Avellaneda and Nájera pointed to the enormous interest generated by the European Researchers’ Night organized by UCLM last September in the Abelardo Sánchez Park.
They also agreed to thank all the research groups and researchers who are making Spring of Science possible this year. In this sense, they encouraged the citizens to visit the Paseo de la Libertaire on May 5, to enjoy the various workshops organized and to get close to science and the progress achieved thanks to it.
