Science and innovation within everyone´s reach

The celebration of the XIV Science Week in Castile and Leon will be held from the 14^th to the 20^th of November. It will be organised in coordination with Valladolid´s Science Park and the Ministry of Education through the Universities and Higher Education Foundation of Castile and Leon (FuesCyL).

The dissemination of science and technology is a priority for the thirty institutions from Castile and Leon that will participate in the Science Week 2016. Our goal is to bring science, technology and innovation to all audiences through the available courses, workshops, conferences, guide tours, exhibitions and scheduled debates.

Our priority is to bring scientific culture to the general public; encourage researchers to share their scientific knowledge and draw the public to the activities that are taking place in the institutions of our community, so that they could be part of the Science Week in Castile and Leon.
