Amaia Agirre brings the world of polymers to (HI)! Ikerlari, the first Young Researchers’ Science Forum in Bergara

On 10 November, from 10:10 to 11:00, POLYMAT researcher Amaia Agirre Etxebarria, PhD and liquid chromatography technician, gives the talk «Jakin-minetik berrikuntzara: polimeroen mundua ezagutzen» (From curiosity to innovation: discovering the world of polymers) at UNED Bergara. Starting from the questions that spark research, she explains how polymers are studied and how that knowledge turns into new materials and applications.

The talk opens the programme of (HI)! Ikerlari – the first Young Researchers’ Science Forum, organised by Laboratorium Museoa and UNED Bergara within the ZTB conference (Zientzia, Teknologia eta Berrikuntza) on 10, 12 and 13 November. The forum gives young researchers from the Debagoiena valley a meeting point to share their work with the public through keynote talks, oral presentations and an exhibition of scientific posters in Basque and English.

Thirteen young researchers present their projects in the poster exhibition, among them former POLYMAT PhD researcher Usue Olatz Aspiazu Iturbe, recent winner of the Koldo Mitxelena Award in Science. The exhibition can be visited on the three days from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 16:00 to 20:00.

The talks are open to the public and to students. Registration at Laboratorium Museoa: 943 76 90 03 or laboratorium@bergara.eus. More information at ztbergara.eus.
