Social dissemination of polymer science
At POLYMAT we promote the social dissemination of polymer science through initiatives that bring our work closer to the public.
POLYMAT is participating in Science Week, organized by Elhuyar, with workshops, demonstrations, and talks open to the public. Our team is bringing polymer chemistry closer to the public through hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and scientific understanding.
Every year we welcome school groups to show them how research is conducted at a leading center for polymer science. The students visit our laboratories, interact with the research staff, and discover how science connects to their everyday lives.
In collaboration with the University of Deusto, POLYMAT participates in this program that promotes scientific vocations among children through inspiring mentorship. Our research staff accompanies, guides, and shares role models to foster interest in science and technology.
POLYMAT joins this international science outreach festival, bringing science to bars. Researchers explain their projects in a friendly and accessible way, creating an informal space to discuss scientific advances with the public.
We support young people developing and presenting scientific projects at this fair organized by Elhuyar. Our team advises, evaluates, and actively participates to promote young talent and scientific culture in the Basque Country.
Since 2018, POLYMAT has been part of this initiative that raises the profile of women scientists and promotes equality in STEAM fields. We participate in activities, talks, and projects that showcase the key role of female researchers and provide role models for girls and young women.
