The initiative, part of the InPacto project, brought together UDC researchers and the general public for scientific discussions, practical workshops, gastronomic offerings, and a concert. The aim was to make the university's research accessible to all audiences, showcasing disciplines such as physiotherapy, computer science, engineering, economics, sustainability, education, history, geology, and social sciences.
CITIC researchers, including José A. Iglesias Guitián and Diego Álvarez Estévez, participated in panel discussions focused on new technologies, artificial intelligence, and the relationship between the brain and daily life. These conversations explored the role of technological models in understanding complex phenomena and offered scientific perspectives on brain function.
In addition to the panel discussions, 'Abastos de Ciencia' featured a wide range of practical activities. Attendees could experiment with wind energy generation, algorithms for sleep studies, quantum computing, quantum mechanics, knee osteoarthritis management, economics, sustainability, renewable energy storage, education, artificial intelligence, historical dissemination, and civil engineering.
The event concluded with a concert by Carmela and included gastronomic options from various stalls. 'Abastos de Ciencia' served as a space for dialogue and participation, highlighting the presence of research in everyday life.
