Science will once again take over the bars of Cantabria this May with the Pint of Science festival, the international event that brings cutting-edge research closer to the general public in a relaxed and accessible environment. And this year, several researchers from IDIVAL will be part of the program, sharing their knowledge and projects in different venues across Santander, Torrelavega, and Castro Urdiales.
For three consecutive evenings —May 19, 20, and 21— researchers from fields such as health economics, nanomedicine, psychiatry, and clinical microbiology will take to the stage in local bars to talk about science in a friendly and accessible way for all audiences.
Here’s the lineup of talks featuring IDIVAL researchers:
Monday, May 19
Ana Peleteiro and Marta Díaz (Cohorte Cantabria) at Bar Rvbicón, Santander: How to research with 50,000 people in Cantabria?

Science in the bars: learning in a different way
The Pint of Science festival is held simultaneously in bars around the world and offers a unique, relaxed, and participative way to experience science. In Cantabria, the event returns to Santander, Torrelavega, and Castro Urdiales, with talks on topics as varied as cancer, mental health, rural demography, and health economics.
At IDIVAL, we would like to congratulate all our researchers for joining this initiative, which helps to promote scientific knowledge and inspire future research vocations in society.
