What is "Semana de la Ciencia" in Spain?

by Isaiah Voss

Saint Louis University — Madrid Campus proudly hosts some of the 500 activities around the Madrid Province that promote science and technology to the general public.

The 23rd annual edition of Semana de la Ciencia y la Innovación 2023 (Science and Innovation Week 2023, in English) started on Nov. 6 and will run through Nov. 19. Although coined "science week," it is a two-week long event. Open houses, movie showings, workshops, exhibits and conferences promote scientific topics to those of all ages and educational backgrounds.
