In the school year 2026-2027, Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) and the Materials Physics Center (CFM, CSIC – EHU) retake the visits program aimed at schools.
The visit is free and open for students at 1st and 2nd Bachiller level and Professional Training. 45 students groups are accepted at most in the face to face visit. There is no limit to attend the online format.
With this initiative, our scope is to show youngsters the everyday life of researchers and professionals working in the field of materials science and nanoscience and the steps that are taken in the scientific career. Our multidisciplinary work team integrates physicists, chemists, IT technicians and engineers, among others.
FACE TO FACE VISIT DETAILS
