Brief description: Although the social impact of scientific and technological research has been increasing in recent years, the interest in research careers is decreasing in many European countries, including Spain. The reasons are not yet entirely understood. However, the lack of understanding between the public and the scientific communities has been proposed as one of the reasons. The S-TEAM project aims to bring the public – including children and adults – in contact with researchers in an informal context that includes pleasant and innovative activities. The project, coordinated by the University of Oviedo, will be deployed in 12 different locations, covering a large part of the Spanish territory.
