The UAB fills the Espai SiS with outreach activities on Researchers' Night
Once again, the UAB held a successful European Researchers' Night offering a wide range of actvities that aimed to bring the research and innovation conducted on campus closer to people of all ages.
On 5 November, the third edition of European Researchers' Night took place at the UAB’s Espai SiS, featuring a wide range of outreach activities designed to bring the research and innovation conducted on campus—and within the centres of the UAB Sphere—to the public in a fun and engaging way. With strong participation from both researchers and the general public, the event included numerous workshops, demonstrations, games, and short talks delivered by faculty and research staff from the University and the institutes of the UAB Sphere.
The exhibition featured 20 workshops covering a wide range of subjects—from history, anthropology, the social sciences, and the humanities, to nanoscience, chemistry, astronomy, physics, biology, and health. The event was enlivened by the traditional Catalan music group Saraus de Muntanya, whose performance got many of the attendees dancing.
The central area of the fair was set up for sixteen short talks that allowed attendees to learn first-hand about the research being carried out at the university: from how a dictionary was compiled in the 19th century and the economic impact of slavery or the role of magnetic resonance imaging in research, to the creation of the euro, the vitrification of oocytes and embryos, and emotional health during perimenopause.
Visitors also took part in guided tours of various laboratories: the Sostenipra group at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology, the Institute of High Energy Physics, the Research Group on the Reliability of Electronic Devices and Circuits, and the Research Group on Biological Anthropology.
The NitRecerCat2627 project is an event associated with the European Union’s "MSCA and Citizens" initiative—part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (HORIZON-MSCA-2025-CITIZENS-01)—and is the result of a collaboration between a consortium comprising the University of Girona (UdG), the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), the University of Barcelona (UB), the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), the University of Lleida (UdL), the Rovira i Virgili University (URV), the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia (UVic-UCC), the Equitat.org foundation, and the Catalan Association for Scientific Communication (ACCC), which is responsible for communication and the coordination of the various nodes.
