Outreach<br />
<strong>ITQB</strong> has been committed to science outreach since its<br />
foundation. Presently the Communication and Science Outreach<br />
Offi ce coordinates most of the activities. As an associate member<br />
of Ciência Viva, <strong>ITQB</strong> participates in the activities organized by<br />
this entity. Moreover, <strong>ITQB</strong> researchers individually participate in<br />
a number of actions that are not listed here.<br />

Dia Aberto - um dia a saber a Ciência<br />
An invitation from the researchers for Saturday 27 February<br />
Dia Aberto is the most visible expression of science outreach at<br />
<strong>ITQB</strong>. Once a year, on a Saturday, <strong>ITQB</strong> researchers transform the<br />
whole institute into a major science fair to welcome visitors of all<br />
ages. Below is a summary of our visitor’s impressions during the<br />
2010 initiative, which was <strong>de</strong>dicated to biodiversity.<br />
1185 visitors<br />
70 % came to Dia Aberto for the fi rst time in 2010<br />
54 % thought that the activities matched their expectations<br />
42 % thought that the activities excee<strong>de</strong>d their expectations<br />
97 % felt the event gave a positive i<strong>de</strong>a about science<br />
96 % would recomend this visit to their friends<br />
School visits<br />
In 2010, <strong>ITQB</strong> organized 20 school visits for a total of 489 stu<strong>de</strong>nts,<br />
not counting visits by university stu<strong>de</strong>nts or those arranged<br />
directly between schools and laboratories. <strong>ITQB</strong> researchers<br />
receive the stu<strong>de</strong>nts in their laboratories (two different labs are<br />
always visited). In 2010, 40 laboratories were involved in this<br />
initiative. Below is the list of schools that visited <strong>ITQB</strong> in 2010.<br />
