LAB TOUR 2026 is a project of the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC), coordinated by Daniel Martín Jiménez and funded with the support of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) – Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (MICIU), Ruralia (Caja Rural de Soria Holding), and the Provincial Council of Soria. Its goal is to increase knowledge and understanding of Science and Technology in a region of the province of Soria, within what is known as ‘Empty Spain.’
The core of the project is a five-day tour in spring 2026, led by scientific staff from the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC). During this tour, the following activities will take place:

1-Science outreach workshops related to materials science in Early Childhood and Primary Education Schools (CEIP), which are also Rural Grouped Schools (CRA) in six villages of Soria.
2-Interviews on local radio and television to discuss science, connecting it with the society, culture, and art of Soria.
