Its main characteristic is that institutions and research centers open their doors for two weeks so that citizens can visit them and learn about the latest advances in science and the main lines of research that scientists are developing.

Below are the activities we organized this year:
Seeing beyond the light: the beginning of electron microscopy in Spain through its first electron microscope (1941-1964)
November 7, 2024, from 12:00 to 13:00
The activities of the IO in relation to the microscope are analysed, in the period between the end of the Civil War and the beginning of the 1960s. During this time, the Institute of Optics was the institution, not the exclusive one, but the main promoter of the creation of a new epistemic community in Spain dedicated to electron microscopy.
We will explain the actors in this development: who they were, how they were formed and their main motivations.

Laser: from Star Wars to microsurgery

Gymkhana ‘Discovering the light’
