This year, 14 students spent time in 10 IBEC laboratories through programmes such as Youth and Science, Mad for Bioengineering and Batx2Lab, among others.

Over-65s share their views on bioengineering research in IBEC and FECYT project

The IMAB project aims to involve the over-65s in learning about, understanding and expressing their opinions on the latest research in bioengineering for active ageing. The initiative has been carried out in collaboration with adult education centres, community centres, associations and university extension classes. The results will now be made available to the scientific community so that they can hear the public’s opinions and perspectives on these advances.
