Outreach Events
This year, the #YoQuantumPhysics challenge consists of recording a video of up to 60 seconds in which you tell the scientific career of one of the women researchers from our list, all of them leading figures in quantum physics and related fields. If you personally know the scientist, you can also interview her and use that material for your video. Send us the result to yofisica.ift@gmail.com before January 31st.
If you teach at a secondary school in the Community of Madrid and you would like us to visit your school and give a talk to ESO or Bachillerato students about our research fields, you can request it on this page.
