Aerospace Engineering Brings Science to Life During the 2025 Madrid Science and Innovation Week

From 3 to 16 November 2025, the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) will once again take part in the Madrid Science and Innovation Week, an annual event that invites citizens to explore the past, understand the present, and create the future.

This initiative, open and free to all audiences, features over 50 outreach activities across UC3M’s campuses, including guided visits, workshops, exhibitions, demonstrations, and talks that showcase the University’s cutting-edge research in science and technology.

Researchers from the Department of Aerospace Engineering will lead several engaging sessions designed to bring complex scientific concepts closer to the public
