IQS Takes Part in Science Week with Four Activities Aimed at Secondary School Baccalaureate Students

Events Institutional Prospective students 18 November 2025

IQS has once again participated in the activities organized as part of the Science Week event in Catalonia, which marked its 30th edition this year and took place from 7 to 16 November. The event aims to encourage interest and knowledge of science.

One of the activities that attracted a large number of Baccalaureate students was the presentation and demonstration Colder than Ice: demonstrations with liquid nitrogen, led by Dr Carles Colominas, Professor with the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, held on 12 November. Another popular event was the lecture and demonstration entitled What does chemical catalysis mean? Everyday life examples, led by Dr Andrés Seoane, Professor with the Department of Organic and Analytical Chemistry at IQS, which took place on 10 November.

These activities were complemented by the conference How do you research a rare disease to find a treatment? by Dr Jordi Duran, Professor with the Department of Bioengineering, which included the screening of the documentary Fighting the Rare, explaining research on the rare Lafora disease.

As part of the implementation of the new Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Mathematics, starting in the upcoming academic year, the conference on the final day focused on Why does Google Maps know where you are? A mathematical journey to understand it, presented by Dr Sergi Novell, Professor with the Department of Applied Mathematics and Data Analytics.

The Baccalaureate students who participated in this year’s edition came from schools throughout Catalonia. Specifically, students came from the following schools in Barcelona: Abat Oliba-Spinola, Canigó, Escola Pia Sarrià-Calassanç, INS Flos i Calcat, La Salle Congrés, Jesuïtes Sarrià, Jesús Maria-Sant Gervasi, López Vicuña, Scala Dei, Pérez Iborra, Sagrado Corazón-Corazonistas, and Sagrat Cor Sarrià, as well as from the following schools elsewhere in Catalonia: European International School (Sant Cugat del Vallès), Escola Pia de Terrassa, Escola Pia de Sitges, Immaculada Concepció de Gavà, INS Aiguaviva (Mollet del Vallès), INS Can Peixauet (Santa Coloma de Gramenet), INS Egara (Terrassa), INS Puig de la Creu (Castellar del Vallès), La Vall (Bellaterra), Sagrada Família de Gavà, and The American School of Barcelona (Esplugues de Llobregat).

Science Week is coordinated by the Catalan Foundation for Research and Innovation and is supported by the Department of Economy and Knowledge under the Government of Catalonia in collaboration with more than a hundred institutions and entities that form part of the Catalan Research and Innovation System, including Ramon Llull University (URL).
