During the first quarter of the year, the IGFAE organises two international activities for high school students from schools in Galicia. Nearly 200 participants share a training day in particle physics with IGFAE and CERN researchers and young people from other countries. The activity is organised by the IGFAE, together with CERN and IPPOG (International Particle Physics Outreach Group).
Science Week is the IGFAE’s most important annual outreach event. Since 2018, the institute has been organising a programme of activities for all audiences with the aim of arousing curiosity for physics and making science of excellence visible to society.
As part of our commitment to disseminating our research activity to society, every year the IGFAE offers dozens of informative talks for educational centres in Galicia, in which the different disciplines in which we do research at our centre are addressed.
In line with its commitment to disseminating our research activity and bringing us closer to society, the IGFAE offers guided tours of its facilities to various types of public, such as educational centres, associations and any other group interested in learning about our work.
