In August 2015, DIVULGAINTEMA was established as the first institutional Scientific Outreach Group in Mar del Plata, linked to the Institute for Materials Science and Technology Research (CONICET-UNMDP). With a mission to bring science and technology closer to society, we foster enthusiasm and scientific vocation among young people, highlighting the vital role of Public Universities and CONICET as drivers of knowledge. Over the years, we have become leaders in science communication, creating a unique bond between research, education, and the community while promoting access and active participation in the scientific world.
With a strong commitment to public science communication, we have developed initiatives that have transformed our relationship with the educational community in Mar del Plata. These activities include:
- Talks and classroom presentations to share our researchers’ scientific experiences.
- Guided tours of our facilities, allowing students and teachers to experience science firsthand.
- Workshops for educators aimed at strengthening science education in schools.
- Participation in cultural and educational projects at local and national levels.
- Organization of events such as Open House Days and other activities that connect science with the public.
We actively engage with schools, institutions, and events, inspiring new generations and showcasing how science and innovation can open a world of possibilities to shape the future. Join us in discovering the wonders of science and its positive impact on our lives.
