Science and Society

In the CSIC we enjoy science and we love to share it. That is why we promote a large number of initiatives aimed at the popularisation of science, education and citizen science. Our objective is to foster scientific culture and to make science more accessible for everybody.

 

Exhibitions, workshops, spectacles, conferences, books, blogs, apps… We use a great variety of formats, from the most classic to the most innovative, to dialogue with all kind of publics. The main resource the CSIC has to bring science closer to society is its research staff, who is involved in these activities fostering, participating or assisting them.
