Outreach week for Prof. Maria Pau Ginebra

Last week, there were two outreach events on science held at the BBT, led by Prof. Maria Pau Ginebra.

On Wednesday 28/04, Prof. Ginebra gave a lecture in the "UPC Diàlegs sobre Nous Materials" series. La UPC Diàlegs are articulated in three thematic sessions, structured in open dialogues, plus a debate where questions of the public and the spectators are incorporated. On this occasion, the panel was formed by Prof. Ginebra, together with Dr. Esther Real Saladrigas and Dr. Irene Arias Vicente.

New challenges in engineering and architecture require new materials to build homes, infrastructures, machines and devices of all kinds. What are the materials that respond to the new needs of society, and with which we will have to work in the future? Will they be natural materials, pre-treated, synthetic, prefabricated, meta-materials...? Under the title "La matèria dels somnis", Prof. Ginebra and her colleagues try to answer these and other questions in a dynamic and upcoming conference. You can watch it here ⬇️ 

On the other hand, on Thursday 28/04, she participated in the cycle "Dijous de ciència 2021", organized by the Secció de Ciències i Tecnologia of the Institut d’Estudis Catalans (IEC), with her lecture on "Recerca i Societat".
