On Friday, September 29th, the city of Valencia joins others in the Mediterranean arc to celebrate the Mediterranean Night of Researchers, a major science outreach event associated with the European Research Night.

Within the framework of the European project, “SCIENCE goes to school”, research staff of the entities organizing this activity will offer attendees, throughout the day, workshops and lectures to bring science to Valencian society, primary and secondary school students in the morning and the general public in the afternoon.

The activities are organized by the Delegation of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in the Valencian Community; the Institute for Health Research (INCLIVA); the Foundation for the Promotion of Health and Biomedical Research of the Valencian Community (FISABIO); the University of Valencia and the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV).

The workshop aims to raise awareness among attendees about the importance of making good use of water and proper separation and treatment of waste.
