FaCIENCIA: Science and Technology Day at FACENA

On November 8th, the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences and Surveying of the National University of Buenos Aires (UNNE) opened its doors to the public, with a special focus on secondary schools, to present "FaCIENCIA," an event dedicated to the dissemination of science and technology led by established research groups. The event featured a large number of students from various secondary schools in Corrientes and Chaco, who expressed great interest in the proposed activities. This event was jointly organized by FaCENA, the Institute for Modeling and Technological Innovation (IMIT, UNNE-CONICET), and the Institute of Basic and Applied Chemistry of Northeast Argentina (IQUIBA-NEA, UNNE-CONICET); the event featured a wide range of activities for researchers, fellows, and the general public.
