Bilbao Campus
On 21 April the University of Deusto has participated in "Zientzia Azoka 2018", a meeting gathering young people’s scientific-technology projects. The main objectives of this initiative are to foster young people’s capacities in the areas of science and technology, to raise interest in science and technology vocations, and bring young people close to the protagonists working in this field. In this sense, young researchers have come with their last year’s projects and shared a space with professional researchers from universities and technology centers.
Projects presented by Deusto
“Con la cámara a cuestas”. An experimental and collaborative project using photography and artistic practices to give voice to women living a precarious labour insertion after a migratory process.
“Brecha digital”. Through a poster exhibition one can understand the reasons and mechanisms that weave the digital gender gap, in addition to the situations of sexual / sexist / homophobic cyberbullying that are reproduced in the different digital channels (social networks, YouTube ...).
“Aprendiendo juntos, somos maravillosos! ¡Eureka!”. Students (public in general) can experience through the use of tablets the impact of interactive learning environments on mathematical competence, reading comprehension and prosocial behavior.
“Reducción contra el actual despilfarro alimentario”- It shows the magnitude of food waste and its environmental implications. For that purpose, it demonstrates the current dilemma between hungry people and food waste figures and it introduces the concept of "Responsible Consumption".
Low-noise and low-carbon freight delivery for postal operators to ensure last mile connections through optimized urban and long distance transport. Project aimed at achieving a more efficient and sustainable freight delivery system for postal services.
Smywork. By applying smart mirrors, this project incorporates into our work routine the concept of promoting health and wellbeing, promoting healthier lifestyles through new interactive supports.
SmartUrban Garden
Modular Robot "Mission on Mars"
“FabAcademy, cómo fabricar (casi) cualquier cosa”. Accelerated experience and practice on Advanced Digital Manufacturing, directed by Neil Gershenfeld of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and hosted by Deusto FabLab.
Supporting young researchers
Amongst its objectives, Zientzia Akoka intends young people to continue with their scientific experiences. For this purpose, in addition to the support they have received for their work as researchers, they have been offered the opportunity to work in technology companies such as Euskaltel, Iberdrola, ERABI, Tecnalia Technology Corporation, as well as Neiker, IK4, CICNanogune, TZBZ Innovation Group, BTEK Technology Interpretation Center and Iruña Planetarium.
The science exhibition was sponsored by the City Council of Bilbao, the Basque Country Network for Science and Technology, FECYT Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology, the Basque Government, the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, Iberdrola, Euskaltel, Erabi and Bizkaia Talent. Likewise, MetroBilbao, Casco Viejo Zazpi Kaleak and the Association of Navarra Science Friends collaborate in this project.
