The Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) is organising Passion for Knowledge (P4K) 2019, an open science festival in which thousands of citizens will be participating.
The 9th edition of the On Zientzia video contest has just started. It is organised by Donostia International Physics Center and Elhuyar.
Donostia International Physics Center is a Basque centre in the cutting edge of Physics Research that also assumes the responsibility to convey scientific culture to society.
A knowledge-based society as fostered by the EU Lisbon Strategy plan actually requires a society-based knowledge, a knowledge with deep roots in the society. Scientific research is traditionally performed in hardly accessible academic institutions or in jealously protected industrial laboratories. There is a growing need for research activity to become a living part of society, to be perceived as a service bringing long-term benefits and a better quality of life.
