Scientific dissemination

Public University of Navarre offers secondary school centres of Navarre (Obligatory Secondary School, Professional Training and Bachillerato (16 and 17 years old) a cycle of conferences which intends to move a wide range of scientific and technological topics closer to secondary students.

The scientific dissemination talks, which have been successfully being offered since the academic year 2005-2006, are taught by over 40 university professors, among which are researchers of the Institute of Smart Cities (ISC).

These talks are complemented by videos called “Scientific dissemination for Bachillerato”, such as those below, in charge of researchers of the Institute of Smart Cities (ISC).

Researchers of Public University of Navarre (UPNA) have been on different stages since 2019 with the play “I want to be a female scientist”, an informational theatre play in which they revive the life and work of female scientists who lived in past centuries. The play, which they both wrote and play, intends to shed light on women scientists with two goals: to reveal a little know or unknown altogether part of the history of science, and to try for girls to be able to feel identified wiht female figures of the scientific and technological area, becoming thus their inspiration. The play is for all audiences (especially girls and boys between 8 and 12 years old), so they have designed a programme for school students, together with a complementary contest (writing, drawing and video).

Out of the eleven female researchers involved, eight of them are members of the Institute of Smart Cities (ISC). These are Patricia Aranguren Garacochea, Edurne Barrenechea Tartas, Leyre Catalán Ros, Silvia Díaz Lucas, Aránzazu Jurío Munárriz, Gurutze Pérez Artieda, Idoia San Martín Biurrun and Amalia Ortiz Nicolás.

The female researchers embody scientists such as Hipatia of Alejandría, Ada Byron, Marie Sklodowska-Curie or Hedy Lamarr, among others.

“Science and mystery” is a fictional “web series” which aims at disseminating through entertainment. Its characters are played by real scientists, not professional actors. This fact, together with the format of fake documentary used in the development of the plot, intends to give the story an added air of credibility. Humour, intrigue and dissemination contents are the major triangle which we have tried to balance. The web series consists of five chapters, available free through the platform YouTube.
