This Friday we had the visit of more than 25 students from IES Consell de Cent (Barcelona), who joined the ESCOLAB programme to visit universities and research centers in Catalonia.
In the second part of the visit, the PhD researchers Martí Gibert and Enrique Pascual, showed the students how to build a dye-synthesized solar cell, and every student could make one and test it in the sunlight.
ICMAB participates for the first time in this programme, together with more than 70 universities and research centers. ESCOLAB is an initiative from the Ajunament de Barcelona, coordinated by the programmes Barcelona Ciència, and the Institut de Cultura de Barcelona, and Cultura Científica de l'Institut Municipal d'Educació de Barcelona, with the participation of many research centers who offer scientific activities for highschool students.
