For the third year running, UDIT will be taking part in Madrid Science and Innovation Week, which is celebrating its 26th edition this year

Once again, UDIT will actively participate in the 26th Madrid Science and Innovation Week, reaffirming its commitment to research, knowledge transfer and scientific outreach. For this edition, the University has prepared four activities showcasing how design, innovation and technology contribute to addressing current challenges across different fields of knowledge.

Organised by the Community of Madrid, this initiative aims to bring science, technology and innovation closer to the public, encourage scientific vocations and highlight the impact that research has on our everyday lives. Over the course of two weeks, universities, research centres, companies, museums and other organisations will share their work through free activities aimed at audiences of all ages.

The activities organised across UDIT’s different campuses will be free of charge and open to the general public, subject to prior registration.
