The 25th Science Week will be held in Catalonia from 14 to 29 November. The exceptional situation experienced on the occasion of the COVID-19 pandemic means that, as it could not be otherwise, the theme of SC'20 focuses on this disease and its global evolution, and on the state of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus research.
 
 
The 25th Science Week will also have other central themes of equal relevance, such as, on the one hand, the International Year of Plant Health of UNESCO, and on the other, the centenary of the birth of different people who have been relevant in differents fields of knowledge. They are the philologist and linguist Antoni Maria Badia i Margarit; the chemist Enric Casassas i Simó; the English chemist Rosalind Franklin, key to the discovery of DNA; the writer and biochemist Isaac Asimov; the meteorologist, astronomer and seismologist Eduard Fontserè i Riba.
 
The "Setmana de la Ciència" is an initiative coordinated by the Catalan Foundation for Research and Innovation (FCRi), in Catalunya. The CSIC centers also gather around the "Semana de la Ciencia y la Tecnología". More than 50 CSIC research centers and institutes have programmed more than 150 activities (around 50 of them in Catalunya), and other research centers, universities and institutions have organized plenty of things too. From the ICMAB we have prepared a bunch of activities, take a look at them below!
At the ICMAB we have prepared the following activities:

Virtual Escape with the Matheroes and the SDGs

THE BOXVirtual Escape about the research at the ICMAB on the materials of the future in energy, superconductors, magnetic materials, molecular electronics and biomaterials, related with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This Virtual Escape if prepared for students of secondary school (ESO and BTX), professional training (FP) and special education. The material is prepared by a class of students with its teacher, who will coordinate the session. From 16 November 2020 onwards.

LabEnClass, the Energy of the Future. From the Lab to the Classroom

LABENCLASS TALLERSLabEnClass is a science outreach project that brings our research in the field of energy from the labs to the classrooms of primary and secondary schools. The project, prepared in collaboration with Funbrain, and with ICMAB Researcher Mariano Campoy-Quiles, was awarded with a FGCSIC "Cuenta la Ciencia" grant in 2019. The project aims at bringing the research performed at our labs to the classrooms with attractive experiments related to energy prepared especially for the scholars.
