The students had the opportunity to learn first-hand how biomedical research is carried out and to discover the role of professionals who work to improve people’s health
The Pere Virgili Institute for Health Research (IISPV) welcomed, this Friday 6 February, a group of students from the Mare de Déu del Carme School in Tarragona to its facilities located at the Sant Joan University Hospital in Reus.
During the visit, the students were able to see directly how biomedical research is developed, explore different working areas and discover the work of professionals who research to improve public health. The activity aimed to bring science and research closer to young people and to inspire scientific interest.
This initiative is part of the IISPV’s commitment to scientific outreach and education, through activities designed for both schools and the general public. In this sense, the Institute promotes guided visits and outreach actions throughout the year to share its research work.
Among other important initiatives, last year the IISPV organised, on the occasion of its 20th anniversary, the event “Health research goes to the streets” in Reus and Tarragona, with workshops and activities specially created for children and teenagers, with the goal of explaining science in a simple and engaging way.
With actions like this school visit, the IISPV strengthens its commitment to connecting biomedical research with society and contributing to the scientific education of future generations.
