The IIS Aragón participates in the European Researchers' Night 2025

Science returns to the streets of Aragon with this initiative that will bring together nearly 300 researchers and more than 30 entities in 50 stands and under a 600-meter tent, to show citizens the importance of research in an enjoyable, participatory and accessible way.. The event will take place on Friday, September 26, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and on Saturday, September 27, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., for the first time in Zaragoza's Plaza del Pilar.

Zaragoza becomes a scientific galaxy. For the first time, the European Researchers' Night comes to Zaragoza's Plaza del Pilar with an epic event:
Science Strikes Back.

The city of Zaragoza hosts the 15th Training Day, an annual event of the 501st Legion – Spanish Garrison that will come to Zaragoza for the first time with a parade featuring hundreds of characters from the Star Wars universe.

Aragonese research centers have joined the event with "Science Strikes Back," in which science becomes an intergalactic adventure for all ages. The activity was organized by the General Directorate of Science and Research by the Government of Aragon, in coordination with the University of Zaragoza and the Aragon Delegation of the Higher Council for Scientific Research and with the collaboration of Zaragoza Cultural of the Zaragoza City Council.

More than 30 Aragonese research centers They will show you their fun activities at the European Researchers' Night 2025. Technology, Energy and Space, Agro-Environmental Sciences, Health and Humanities, and much more!

To this we must add the events that the University of Zaragoza is also organizing on Friday 26th in the center of Teruel, Huesca and Zaragoza - from experiments to walks and scientific monologues -, through the project G9-SCIENCE4ALL, financed by the European Union.

The IIS Aragón will participate in the Health Roundtable on both Friday the 26th and Saturday the 27th with two activities: "The World Around Us" and "Using Epithelioids" to Develop Better Therapies for Diseases.
