This is a collection of some material that I have prepared for different outreach activities and some appearances in media.
Most of the contents are in Spanish.
Dissemination talks and workshops
About the science outreach programs
Initiative of CSIC that offers scientific activities (talks, exhibitios, fairs) in different Spanish cities.
Activity organized by the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics of the University of Barcelona for high-school students (16-18 years old). It consists of a talk followed by a workshop in the faculty's computer rooms.
Program of the Community of Madrid in which ICMAT takes part for high-school students (15-16 years old).
Event organized by NAUKAS, BCAM and the Chair of Scientific Culture of the Univeristy of the Basque Country which consists of scientific talks of 15 minutes for general public and which takes place around March 14, pi day.
Iniciative to promote the organization of activities to commemorate February 11, International Day of Women and Girls in Science . Its website helps to arrange talks with educational centers.
