Science Week at the University of Navarra will begin on November 7. For seven days, it will be possible to visit the research center Applied Medicine (CIMA) and the Museum of Natural Sciences, in addition to participating in workshops in Physics, Chemistry and Biology and attend to a lecture series. Schools from Navarre and other neighboring autonomous communities will participate in the event, which is aimed at the general public.

The first discussion paper will take place at position by Professors Julio Artieda and José Ramón Isasi who will deal with"The 2014 Nobel Prizes explained" (Medicine and Chemistry). The following Monday will be the turn of Professor Enrique Baquero, director of the Master's Degree of Biodiversity, management of Landscapes and Environment of the University of Navarra with "Responsabilidad ciudadana frente al Medio Ambiente"; followed by Ana Rouzaut with"Inmunoterapia: domando el cáncer" and "Evolución: ¿qué pasa con nuestras vidas?" by Gregorio Sánchez. Finally, it will be the turn of Full Professor Ignacio López-Goñi and María Ángeles Zulet who will speak on"Ebola, why do new viral infections arise?" and"Obesity and research in nutrition: a priority tandem for Public Health", respectively.

As Borja Mora-Figueroa, development director development , points out, “Science Week is an opportunity to introduce the people of Navarra—and the general public—to the work being done at the School of Science, as well as to delve into the world of science.” "We believe this is a great opportunity to bring science closer to people of all ages and also to learn about their concerns in this regard."

The event, which last year gathered 900 people, will end on Saturday 15 with an Open Doors and Science Experimentation workshop for students.
