Science outreach

IDIBELL works to make its research known and understandable by all the society. Researchers must approach citizens to identify their concerns, problems and priorities. On the other hand, citizens must be able to find spaces where they can strengthen their scientific and health comprehension, and where they can enjoy the findings generated with public resources. Only by enhancing this dialogue will we promote critical thinking and the roots of scientific culture as an engine of well-being and social advancement.

In the field of scientific dissemination, IDIBELL works to establish effective channels of cooperation between science and society to communicate the excellent research of its professionals and the social and responsible conscience of the centre, to strengthen relations with the territory and Bellvitge health and research institutions, to train researchers in outreach skills and, finally, to explore new communication formats and innovative formulas to promote citizen participation in science.
