From the daily questions of researchers to technologies that can contribute to people's health and well-being: to European Researchers' Night, UCBM has opened some of its laboratories and research spaces to the public, offering children, students, families, and citizens the opportunity to learn more about the activities developed at the University.
Through 6 experiential corners and 8 interactive laboratories, participants were able to explore different areas of research UCBM, From 'Artificial Intelligence in robotics, From 'biomedical engineering to biotechnology, in a path designed to make science accessible and engaging.
One of the evening's goals was to provide a closer look at the daily lives of researchers, during a special time when laboratories are open to the public and become places for meeting and sharing. The activities provided insights into some of the applications ofArtificial intelligence, deepening its potential and ways of conscious use, but also to discover the robotic technologies developed for the surgery and clinical contexts.
There is also space for the multidisciplinary research lines of thebiomedical engineering, where diverse expertise comes together to develop solutions and technologies applicable to the healthcare sector. The program engaged participants of all ages, with interactive activities designed to stimulate curiosity and foster a direct connection with research and the people who carry it out every day.
“Ignite curiosity, illuminate the future” was the common thread of the participation of UCBM at the European Researchers' Night, as part of the project LEAF – Heal the Planet's Future, coordinated by Frascati Science. Bringing new generations closer to science means offering them the tools to understand the technologies that are already part of the present and to imagine those that can contribute to building the future.
The European Researchers' Night was thus an opportunity to talk about research UCBM through direct experience, bringing researchers and the public into dialogue and demonstrating how research can translate into knowledge, innovation, and new opportunities for society.
