11th Intercommunity Youth Research Forum
Xosé Pintado, from the Marine Ecology and Resources group, will take part as a guest in the 11th Intercommunity Youth Research Forum, which will be held from 24 to 26 November.
The Forum is a collaborative initiative promoted by the cooperative school Colexio Plurilingüe Alborada in Vigo and Institut El Cairat in Barcelona, together with the Institute for Culture, Science and Technology (ICCT) and the Galician Union of Cooperatives – EspazoCoop.
The Intercommunity Youth Research Forum (FIIJ) was created at the end of the 2009-2010 school year by educational centres, including teaching cooperatives, with the aim of offering a space to share research projects and experiences carried out by secondary-school students under the guidance of their teachers. It is aimed at students from the 1st to 4th year of compulsory secondary education and is open to any public, private or state-subsidised school in Spain.
In this 11th edition, more than 85 students from secondary education and the final years of primary education will take part, from 8 schools in Galicia and Catalonia, including 4 teaching cooperatives that are members of EspazoCoop.
The planned Forum dossier shows the variety of thematic areas covered by the 26 research projects to be presented.
The closing ceremony will take place on Friday, 25 November at 18:00, with the participation of José Luis Vázquez López, President of the Institute for Culture, Science and Technology; Belén Rubio Armesto, Vice-Rector for Research at UVigo; Xosé Pintado, Deputy Director for Scientific Culture at the Institute of Marine Research (IIM-CSIC); and Miguel Anxo Filgueira Touriño, Vice-President of the Galician Union of Cooperatives EspazoCoop.
